SUMMARY:Everyday Democracy: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness in Johnson County
DESCRIPTION:Democracy isn’t only written in founding documents or decided at the ballot box — it’s lived every day. For 250 years\, people across the United States have claimed\, challenged\, and redefined democratic ideals through their choices\, voices\, and communities. This new exhibition explores how everyday experiences of Johnson Countians have shaped the meaning of Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness — and asks what role each of us will play in democracy’s future.
