MUC CONNECT | Guest Lecture by Charlotte Terry, USU Professor of History
Description
Join us for "Using our Voices: Democratic Participation in the Uinta Basin," where Charlotte Terry, USU Professor of History, will talk about how people in Utah and specifically in the Uinta Basin have participated in the democratic process, and how these efforts connect to the push and pull of American democracy.
This event accompanies "Voices & Votes: Democracy in America," a Smithsonian exhibition that explores the action, reaction, vision, and revision that democracy demands as Americans continue to question how to shape our country.
"Voices & Votes: Democracy in America" is made possible in Utah by Utah Humanities and local venues around the state. Voices & Votes is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. It is based on an exhibition by the National Museum of American History. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.
Visit the exhibition in Vernal from August 15 to October 17, 2026 to learn how Utah connects to this national story through local companion exhibits and public programming.
