One of our interns from the Duke
Engage program was walking through the Smithsonian’ s National Museum of American History on the National Mall recently. As she was checking out the exhibition on voting and democracy, she came across something that we at Rock the Vote hold dear to our hearts. She came across a classic Rock the Vote poster. Now, we have this poster here in our office, but the Smithsonian has it in a much nicer frame. Maybe we need to upgrade.
While we’re celebrating our 20th year it’s amazing to think how far we’ve come. Starting as a necessity in 1990 in response to government censorship of music and becoming a force by registering millions of 18-29 year-old voters, keeping them informed and encouraging civic engagement through the democratic process. Rock the Vote has come a long way and we’re thrilled to be hanging on the wall as American History.
