December 11 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Everyone is invited to our next Lunch and Learn event.

Program Information: In August 2025 we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Our speaker will highlight the history of voting rights in America up to and including the VRA. He will also review the consequential Shelby County and Brnovich Supreme Court decisions that have limited aspects of the VRA and will discuss current efforts to restore the VRA.

He is a lecturer in the Servant Leadership Program at Viterbo University, where he teaches a class on Civics and the Common Good, and the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse.
