#Lexington250 #Concord250 we just celebrated the 250th anniv of the start of the #AmericanRevolution

The Boston Massacre was in 1770. The Battle of Lexington and Concord was on 19 April 1775. #ShotHeardRoundTheWorld The 250th anniversary was just in April. #Lexington250 #Concord250 #PatriotsDay

Blueprint in the Bluegrass In this episode, we explore the five elements of civic health: education, the public realm, local news and reporting, convening and bridging, and civic transformation. We follow the work of the Lexington NGO CivicLex, which has pioneered this comprehensive approach to engagement in order to strengthen democratic resilience and performance in the city. Blueprint in the Bluegrass provides a roadmap to solutions that can be replicated in cities large and small on both sides of the Atlantic. This series has been created in collaboration with the GMF Cities program, and features a wide range of innovations in democracy from Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), Athens (Greece), Vienna (Austria), Barcelona (Spain), Minneapolis (Minnesota), and now Lexington (Kentucky). To watch all of the episodes in this series, please visit www.bfnadocs.org.

I was at the #Lexington250 celebration today, including a re-enactment and a parade. Lots of signs with no kings and no tyrants. Lexingtonians took it to heart today.

At Minuteman National Park for #Lexington250 and absolutely adore the number of people here taking the opportunity to protest on behalf of the Parks and against a would-be king.

April 19:

BREAKING: Hundreds of marines stationed overseas were ambushed by local rebels while searching for a weapons cache overnight. Dozens killed, over 170 wounded.

(250 years ago; Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts Colony.)

Founded in 1775, Lexington’s story began on the frontier. Now known as the “Horse Capital of the World” and home to one of the earliest settlements in Kentucky, Lexington played a pivotal role in shaping the state’s identity. #Lexington250 #kyhistory #LexingtonKY #America250KY
