The University of Wisconsin-Superior’s Jim Dan Hill Library, in partnership with Jackets Vote, a program of the Link Center, invites students, faculty, staff and community members to attend the opening reception for Who Can Vote? A Brief History of Voting Rights in the United States, a traveling exhibition from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
The opening reception will be held Monday, Nov. 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Jim Dan Hill Library. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibit will be on display from Nov. 9 through Dec. 11 and explores the evolving struggle for voting rights in the United States. Through historical documents, images and narratives, the exhibition highlights key moments, movements and individuals who helped expand access to the ballot and shape American democracy.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the exhibit, engage in conversation and reflect on the continuing importance of civic participation and voting rights.
Jackets Vote works to increase civic engagement and voter participation among UW-Superior students, while the Jim Dan Hill Library serves as a center for learning, research and community engagement on campus.
Free parking, beverages and refreshments will be provided. Registration is available at uwsuper.edu/superiordialogues.
