My project asks reader to imagine the kind of community engagement in the United States might have occurred had the federal government upheld a commitment to maximum participation. What if the 1968 general election in the United States, an election characterized by assassination and widespread civil demonstration, ultimately ended in the surprise nomination of Minnesota Senator Eugene J. McCarthy to the Office of the President? What if, following the immediate withdrawal from Vietnam, the administration and Congress swiftly reallocated funds from the war chest, funneling them back to former-President Johnson’s Great Society programs? Most notably, the Community Action and Model Cities Programs might have received increases in funding in recognition of their modest gains in the “software” of governance — increasing civic participation and propelling black residents into delegatory seats of power. My counterfactual history is recorded in the form of a wiki, where it can be updated, edited, and tested. By recording these alternative histories in this way they’ve come to take shape as a world, an ecosystem of stories that generate new stories. This project remains open to your collaboration; engage and learn more at communityaction.wiki.
