September13th W.I.S.E.: Greensboro History Museum
September 13th join W.I.S.E. at the Greensboro History Museum located at 130 Summit Ave., GSO, NC 27401 for a guided tour of the Democracy Exhibit. What has democracy meant to different people at different moments in NC history? What was at stake in elections in 1835, 1898, 1920 or 1990? How do decisions then continue to matter now? Explore choices and change across 11 elections between 1776 and 2010. NC Democracy: Eleven Elections illustrates the twists and turns of who could participate, how voters cast their ballots, and what influenced decisions that continue to shape what democracy means today. You’ll discover the documents that transformed how our state’s democracy has worked. You’ll confront changing values about what or who was important. You’ll follow the actions that have opened up and shut down opportunities for equal participation. NC Democracy: Eleven Elections is part of the Greensboro History Museum’s Project Democracy 20/20 initiative exploring American democracy through exhibitions, public programs and innovative community connections. Project Democracy is supported in part by North Carolina Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Find out more at https://greensborohistory.org/democracy
