Voices and Votes at the Robert H. Jackson Center

Robert H. Jackson Center is pleased to announce a new exhibit coming this fall, September 6 - October 18.

In 2023, Museum Association of New York (MANY) selected The Robert H. Jackson Center as one of twelve participant and host sites for Voices and Votes –A New Agora for New York, a traveling exhibit that integrates the resources of the host community and institutions to explore, reflect on, and tell the story of their role in the evolution of American Democracy and envision the future of our nation.

The material is adapted from American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith currently on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Voices and Votes includes historical and contemporary photographs; educational and archival video; engaging multimedia interactives; and historical objects like campaign souvenirs, voter memorabilia, and protest material. It is combined with content from the host communities and museums to give a local perspective to the struggle to support national democratic systems.
