SUMMARY:Voices & Votes
DESCRIPTION:The Smithsonian exhibit “Voices and Votes” that explores American democracy from multiple perspectives is coming to Ashby Free Public Library. Topics include the origins of American democracy; the struggles to obtain and keep the vote; the machinery of democracy; the right to petition and protest beyond the ballot; and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. Rather than focusing on politics\, “Voices and Votes” prompts viewers to think about four key questions: \n\n\n\nWho gets to participate in democracy?\nHow do you get people to participate in democracy?\nIs there a way for citizens to participate beyond the ballot?\nWhat are the basic rights and responsibilities of citizens?\n\n\n\nSponsored by:\nThe Smithsonian\nMass Cultural Council\nMass Humanities Museum on Main Street\nAshby Free Public Library \nOpen during regular Library hours. https://www.ashbylibrary.org/
