The lecture was part of the Summer Reading Program theme, 鈥淪trong Voices: Empowering Student Citizenship.鈥�

Brown, who studied political science at Meredith, spoke on how the U.S. Constitution informs elections and our participation.

Brown encouraged students to think about what it means to be a U.S. citizen and the responsibilities that come with citizenship. 鈥淲e鈥檙e all members of this society. The Constitution sets boundaries and rules for participation and we get to choose how involved we are and how we engage.鈥�

According to Brown, elections are the ultimate expression of American values stated in the Constitution, and participating in them is, therefore, the ultimate act of what it means to be a citizen of the country.

鈥淚n local and state elections, every vote matters. Local elections are often decided by one vote,鈥� said Brown. 鈥淚n federal elections, your vote in North Carolina will really matter too because it is a purple state.鈥�
