Program Description

Event Description

The exhibition examines the nearly 250-year-old American experiment of a government "of, by and for the people," and how each generation since continues to question how to form "a more perfect union."  From the revolution and suffrage, to civil rights and casting ballots, everyone in every community is part of this ever-evolving story-- the story of democracy in America.
