Program on free speech September 15 to commemorate Constitution Day: The Jacksonville Area Museum program at Lovejoy Hall will serve as lead-in to Smithsonian exhibit coming to museum November 20. Constitution Day will be commemorated in Jacksonville on Wednesday, September 15 with a program on free speech in America. The program, sponsored by the Jacksonville Area Museum, will be held at 6:30 p.m. in Lovejoy Hall at 520 W. College and is free and open to the public. Illinois College Professor Dr. Dane Wendell will present “Can Free Speech Last in America Today?” The program will serve as lead-in to the Smithsonian “Voices and Votes” exhibit coming to the Jacksonville Area Museum on November 20. A Zoom link for those who wish to attend remotely will be posted prior to the event on the Jacksonville Area Museum’s Faceook page. “Americans revere our First Amendment free speech rights, but we often have explosive disagreements about what those rights mean,” Wendell said. “The September 15 program will explore how new emerging issues in our politics today make our free speech rights more important than ever before.” Some of the questions to be considered in Wendell’s presentation include: Should athletes be permitted to make political statements? Should social media companies be allowed to censor political speech? Should Critical Race Theory be taught in public schools? Join us for a discussion about what free speech should mean for Americans from all political backgrounds. Wendell is on a mission to help students understand politics inside and outside the classroom. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago,Wendell studied politics at Rhodes College in Memphis, and he earned his PhD from Loyola University Chicago. He has published in several leading political science research journals on subjects including political psychology, neuropolitics, and the moral foundations of our political beliefs. He is currently an award-winning professor and teacher at Illinois College. The Jacksonville Area Museum, which will officially open on September 25, will host the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street’s “Voices and Votes: Democracy in America” exhibit from November 20 – December 25. “Voices and Votes” examines questions stemming from the leap of faith taken by the American revolutionaries who established a government that entrusted the power of the nation not in a monarchy but in its citizens. Who has the right to vote? What are the freedoms and responsibilities of citizens? Whose voices will be heard? The Jacksonville Area Museum will use original artifacts, storytelling exhibits and the building itself, as well as items from the MacMurray collection, to show people of all ages and backgrounds why the Jacksonville community has been and continues to be one of a kind. It will be open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. following a September 25 grand opening.
