  • Architecture of Innovation
    THE ARCHITECTURE OF INNOVatION Institutionalizing Innovation in Federal Policymaking About the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation The Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation at Georgetown University was launched in 2014 through the generosity of Alberto and Olga Maria Beeck. Part lab, part think tank, and part classroom, the Beeck Center works with students and practitioners to innovate new solutions to systemic social problems. The Beeck Center engages global leaders to drive social change at scale. We conduct academic research, hold convenings and provide trainings, classes, and experiential labs for current and emerging leaders. Building on Georgetown University’s core values and global reach, we drive creative thinking around issues at the intersection of data, technology, capital, and policy innovation. We invite a diverse community of thinkers to join us in looking beyond the obvious, to ask the unasked questions, and find adaptable solutions in today’s changing world. About the Massive Data Institute The Massive Data Institute at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy is an interdisciplinary research center devoted to the study of high-dimensional data to answer public policy questions. MDI uses data from novel, often real-time sources like the Internet, social media, sensors, and other big data sources to increase our understanding of society and human behavior, and thus improve public policy decision making. MDI draws on expertise from across Georgetown’s campus and beyond, including the social, natural, and computer science departments, and through strategic partnerships with organizations like the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, the Institute for Social Research at University of Michigan, and the Pew Charitable Trust.

Barth, Director of the Federal Register. David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States. On the cover: The Stone of Hope Statue, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, near the Lincoln Memorial, on the shore of the Tidal Basin. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) joins the Nation in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. On August 28, 1963, despite searing heat, over 250,000 people from all corners of the country marched on our Nation’s capital. In the shadow of the Washington Monument, all the marchers shared the same dream: equality for the nearly 20 million African Americans living in the United States. Organized by a coalition of civil rights, religious, and labor organizations, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom drew hundreds of thousands of participants in support of President John F. Kennedy’s proposed civil rights bill. Organizers included A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Recordings of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech that day have helped it become one of the best-remembered speeches in American history and a lasting symbol of the event.
