What helps democracy endure?
The short answer: All of us.
For the International Day of Democracy, Pew hosted a discussion with Roswell Encina, president and CEO of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, and Kelly Richards, president and director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, about how free expression and exchanging ideas—and the civic institutions that make that possible—can help democracy in America as we look toward the next 250 years.

This October, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society hosted our annual Capitol Civics Teacher Professional Development program in Austin, Texas, in partnership with the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History.
Twenty-four educators from across the country gathered to study the landmark legislation, the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Participants examined primary sources from the Library of Congress, LBJ Library, and the Briscoe Center and heard from a panel of voting rights experts.
We’re grateful to our partners for helping make this experience possible and to the educators who joined us to deepen their understanding of voting rights history!
