D.C. celebrates Walt Whitman's 200th birthday!

Tomorrow (May 23) the Walt Whitman 200 Festival officially kicks off with a wide variety of readings, lectures, broadcasts, art installations and much more.  (A few observances have already occurred.)

Organized by Humanities DC, in cooperation with the Whitman 2019 Consortium, the celebration will last 10 days, culminating on June 3 with readings from the poet's works at the Library of Congress, Folger Shakespeare Library and several D.C. Public Library branches.
