A special traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution will be at the Nowata museum April 13, 2024 – May 25, 2024. It is titled “Voices and Votes: Democracy in America“. There will be many events at the museum and around town to showcase the exhibit. More information coming in the next few weeks. Here is some basic information on the exhibit:
When American revolutionaries waged a war for independence, they took a leap of faith that sent ripple effects across generations. They embraced a radical idea of establishing a government that entrusted the power of the nation not in a monarchy, but in its citizens. That great leap sparked questions that continue to impact Americans:
- Who has the right to vote?
- What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens?
- Whose voices will be heard?
- How do you participate as a citizen?
