\n\nABOUT VOICES &\; VOTES
\nWhen 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:
\n\n\;
\n\n? Who has the right to vote?
\n\n? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens
\n\n? Whose voices will be heard?
\n\n? How do you participate as a citizen?
\n\n \;
\n\nVoices and Votes: Democracy in America will be a springboard for discussions about those very questions and how they are reflected in local stories.
