1970s Washington DC Spirit of the era

Quote found on the Internet “During the 1970s, Washington, D.C. became a focal point for social movements and political discourse, with autumn serving as a backdrop for rallies and gatherings that echoed the sentiments of the time. The National Mall, adorned with the brilliant hues of fall foliage, witnessed numerous demonstrations advocating for civil rights, environmental protection, and anti-war sentiments. The juxtaposition of the natural beauty of the season against the fervent activism of the populace created a unique atmosphere, where the changing leaves symbolized both the passage of time and the hope for transformation. The spirit of the era was palpable, as the city embraced both its historical significance and its role as a stage for contemporary issues, making autumn a particularly dynamic and memorable time in the nation's capital.” In 1978, I was 2 years old and a student at NationHouse.
