Photos courtesty of American Bar Association
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month last month, the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress launched a new traveling exhibit, “100 Years After the Indian Citizenship Act: The Continuing Struggle to Guarantee Voting Rights to Native Americans.”
The exhibit explores Native American Voting Rights long before the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 and how it failed to ensure Native American participation in elections. Tribal leaders and lesser-known voting rights activists from all walks of life are highlighted in the display.
The exhibit builds off the success of previous exhibits that traveled to more than 225 venues nationwide: Magna Carta (2015-18), 19th Amendment (2019-22) and Mayflower Compact (2022-23).
The new exhibit will be on display at law schools, state capitol buildings, state and local bar associations, courthouses, law firms and national and local conferences across the country.
Places currently hosting the exhibit include:
• National Native American Bar Association in Tempe, Ariz.
• Jacksonville University College of Law in Jacksonville, Fla.
• Greenberg Traurig LLP in Chicago
• Stanford University Law School in Stanford, Calif.
• Case Western Reserve Law Library in Cleveland, Ohio
• University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law Library in Sacramento, Calif.
