Voices & Votes:
Democracy in America
Voices & Votes: Democracy in America is a traveling Smithsonian exhibition that explores the action, reaction, vision, and revision that democracy demands as Americans continue to question how to shape our country. It traces the bold American experiment of a government run by and for the people, and examines the influences that shaped its early days and the changes that have occurred in the 250 years since.
