"A man's rights rest in three boxes. The ballot box, jury box and the cartridge box. Let no man be kept from the ballot box because of his color. Let no woman be kept from the ballot box..." -Frederick Douglass, November 15th, 1867.

Join us as we explore voting rights in North Carolina through a series of interactive posts. Starting at 10, we will explore the struggle for suffrage in the United States with our attention focused on voting process in the American South during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and examine the relationship between violence and political participation. This event is intended to be interactive and we encourage you to engage with the content by commenting and asking questions!
