Voices & Votes - Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit at the Moab Arts Center

When American revolutionaries waged a war for independence, they took a leap of faith that sent ripple effects across generations. They embraced a radical idea of establishing a government that entrusted the power of the nation not in a monarchy, but in its citizens. That great leap sparked questions that continue to impact Americans: Who has the right to vote? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens? Whose voices will be heard? How do you participate as a citizen? Voices and Votes: Democracy in America will be a springboard for discussions about those very questions and how they are reflected in local stories.
