Project Democracy 20/20 is a Greensboro History Museum initiative that will explore American democracy through exhibitions, public programs and innovative community connections. The centerpiece of this project is the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibition, American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith (December 7, 2019 - March 27, 2020).
This project will spark discussions relevant to the presidential election year, the 100th anniversary of the woman’s right to vote, a census year, 75th anniversary of the end of WWII and the 60th anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-Ins. Using local, state and national histories we will explore the questions:
What is democracy?
Who votes and how?
Beyond the ballot, how have we used our right to petition and protest?
What are the rights and responsibilities of citizens?
How does engaging with history activate citizen participation in their government?
