Smithsonian Democracy Exhibit Live at Warner Library

The Warner Library late last year announced a special exhibit on democracy in America that would be coming from the Smithsonian Institution and it is here, ready for the public to view.

 

Executive Director Bobbi Perryman says while the scaled-down exhibit is still large, it offers a lot of great information, artifacts, and other unique displays to tell the story of democracy in America. 

 

 

Part of the grant to receive the exhibit was for recipients to display stories of local democracy in their communities. Perriman indicates they have a trio of stories they are telling about local democracy.

 

 

There's a State of Illinois exhibit at the Library right now as well that tells the story of voting rights for African Americans in Illinois.

 

 

All month long, activities and events are happening at the Library in conjunction with these exhibits. Get more information by visiting vwarner.org and following along with the library on the various social media channels.
