Benjamin Harrison and Protecting the Vote

Join us for October’s Coffee with the Curator exploring Benjamin Harrison and Protecting the Vote.
During his presidency, Benjamin Harrison confronted urgent questions about federal authority, civil rights, and access to the ballot in the decades following the Civil War. His administration supported efforts to protect voting rights during a period of widespread voter suppression, illuminating the challenges of translating constitutional ideals into lived democratic practice.
This program examines how debates over voting rights have shaped the American system since the 19th century, offering historical context for one of the most enduring, and contested, principles of self-government as the nation reflects on its democratic foundations during America 250.
