A Brief History of Voting Rights in the US\, organized by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, from June 26-August 21\, 2026. \nThe Who Can Vote? exhibition examines voting rights\, emphasizing the role of the US Constitution and the interplay between the states and federal government in determining who is allowed to vote.

Topics include voting as a constitutional right\, women’s suffrage\, Reconstruction and Jim Crow era voting rights\, the Civil Rights Movement\, and the enfranchisement of Indigenous peoples. \nThe exhibit is open to the public and available for viewing during regular operating hours Monday through Thursday 9am to 6pm\, Fridays 9am to 2pm\, and Saturdays 9am to 2pm.​ \nTo learn more about the exhibit\, visit www.gilderlehrman.org/programs-and-events/traveling-exhibitions/who-can-vote-brief-history-voting-rights-us.  \nFor more information on the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, visit www.gilderlehrman.org. \nFor more information\, call the CLPLS at 662-329-5300.
