Regulating the landscape of protest: The National Park Service National Capital Region as testing ground for First Amendment rights
Abstract
This article explores the origins of how NPS manages First Amendment activities in National Capital Parks, concentrating on developments in the 1960s and 1970s. It outlines the emergence of regulations over time, as the agency has sought to reconcile the historical and cultural values of National Capital Parks with the value they hold for civic engagement.
