Democracy on the Coast: Voices That Shaped Our Nation
2026-11-01 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Southeast Georgia Conference Center, College of Coastal Georgia, One College Drive, Brunswick, 31520, United States
The opening celebration for the exhibit, “Democracy on the Coast,” invites the community to explore how Coastal Georgia’s rich, diverse histories continue to shape the American democratic experience. Through storytelling, music, and shared reflection, the event foregrounds the exhibition’s core message: democracy is a living chorus—made stronger by the voices that rise from the coast’s Indigenous nations, African American communities, women’s advocates, immigrant families, and generations of workers whose civic participation strengthened the nation.
