Government Documents
First floor near the elevators, Sinclair Library
Did you know that when the U.S. Constitution was first written, only a small portion of the population of the U.S. had the right to vote?
In honor of Constitution Day (September 17), Government Documents Collection LIS intern Naomi Zimmer has created a display about four amendments to the Constitution that expanded voting rights:
15th Amendment -- gave African-American males the right to vote
19th Amendment -- gave women the right to vote
24th Amendment -- ended the poll tax
26th Amendment -- changed the voting age to 18
Please stop by to see the exhibit at Sinclair Library on the first floor next to the elevators. While you're here, you can marvel at the dramatic improvements in Sinclair Library.
