Talk about timely. “When we signed up for the [“Voices and Votes”] exhibit over one and a half years ago, we had no idea that the voting rights issue would be a current hot topic,” said Nancy Theiss, Oldham County History Center executive director. The Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit features insights into how our government changes with each generation. On Thursday, Aug. 19 at 6 p.m., the Center is hosting a panel discussion featuring Oldham County Clerk Julie Barr, House Speaker David Osborne and Secretary of State Michael Adams. It will be moderated by Dr. Jasmine Farrier, political science professor at UofL. It’s open to the public, but reservations are required.
