Invitation to Respond

I Was Here, in partnership with Operation Be You (OBY), has launched a series of events and installations that will culminate in a letter to, for and from the city.   

The responses will become a permanent Lexington asset bringing the voices of many together. It is a means to engage our city in the concept of what nation building means through a shared journey of discovery, reflection and introspection.

We would love to include your voice in a citywide Invitation to Respond that will recognize African American co-founders of our city and country. Responses will honor the descendants of African American Nation builders in public space throughout our city.
