It focuses on the organization’s collaboration with the National Park Service in several DC-area parks, among them the National Mall, Anacostia Park, and Rock Creek Park, and argues that such engagement prepared the founders of the organization to be a major player in the go-go promotion scene of the 1980s, notably in organizing the Go Go Live at the Capital Centre concert.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Featured Theme Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3wx7x2gr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rami","middle_name":"Toubia","last_name":"Stucky","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2026-01-15T09:00:00+01:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/psf/article/62078/galley/47962/download/"}]}
