This summer, Atlantic Cape Community College will be hosting the Smithsonian Institute’s traveling exhibit Voices and Votes: Democracy in America. The exhibit–which is based on an exhibition by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.—tells the story of American democracy from its seedling stages during the American Revolution era to its developing stages in the Jackson and Civil War years to its full bloom in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Through six-foot, fully illustrated storyboards; interactive digital technology; and dozens of unique artifacts from the Smithsonian collections, visitors to the exhibit will hear the voices of Americans who demanded or derided increasing democracy in the U.S. and learn how a nation styled as a republic gradually became more democratic.
The exhibit opens to the general public on July 11th and runs through August 13th at Atlantic Cape Community College’s Mays Landing campus (G building/Student Center). The exhibit will be open Monday through Thursday from 10am to 7pm and Friday and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Admission is free. This is a unique opportunity to experience a Smithsonian exhibit locally in Atlantic County!
