Please stop by our Don't Mute DC Tent at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall from Noon-5 p.m. Meet Metro PCS shop owner Don Campbell and Don't Mute DC activists. See multimedia excerpts of the Howard University/Smithsonian collaboration "#DontMuteDC: An Oral History." At 4:15 p.m. watch a special performance by The Royal Pocket Tour, featuring legendary conga players Go-Go Mickey, Sauce, Smoke, Winko, Jungle Boogie, Buggy and narrated by Stinky Dink and Mighty Moe. The musicians will tell the story of go-go's roots in West Africa and their social power today. 

Keep an eye out on weather forecasts by following the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on their social media platforms. But we will be there under a tent--rain or shine!
