During May 1968 thousands of <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/241">demonstrators</a> representing communities across the country lived in a shantytown of plywood and canvas homes south of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/23">Reflecting Pool</a>. Intense rainfall flooded the encampment and internal dissension plagued the city. Resurrection City's Park Permit expired on June 23. The next day, police moved through the area, tearing down the buildings and arresting nearly 300 people. Sometimes remembered as a failure, Resurrection City nonetheless brought together many disparate groups to work toward common goals.
