Explore the History of Voting Rights
The Wisconsin Historical Society is partnering with the Wisconsin Black Historical Society to present the History of Wisconsin Voting Rights! This afternoon will feature film clips from the PBS documentary Freedom Summer, a chronicling of the 1964 fight among civil rights activists to increase voter registration among Black Mississippians against seemingly insurmountable odds. After, join a panel discussion to learn about Wisconsin's storied voting rights history and its impact on modern elections.
It is free and open to the public. Learn more about the state’s complex history and the importance of using your voice at the polls today! This event is sponsored by the Wisconsin Black Historical Society and presented as part of the Wisconsin Historical Society History Makers Tour. The tour is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
