Project 15 Corp is a registered 501c3 organization based in El Paso, IL, dedicated to building the first voting rights museum in the state of Illinois. Their mission is to honor the legacy of those who have fought for voting rights and empower others to exercise this fundamental democratic right. Through exhibits and educational programs, Project 15 Corp aims to tell the story of David Strother, the first Black man to vote in Illinois, and highlight the significance of one vote in shaping history.
With a focus on the 15th amendment, which prohibits the denial or abridgment of voting rights based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, Project 15 Corp seeks to raise awareness about the power of one vote. Their vision is to create a space where visitors can learn about the historical struggles and triumphs in the fight for voting rights, inspiring them to actively participate in the democratic process. As a registered nonprofit, all donations to Project 15 Corp are tax deductible, supporting their mission to promote and preserve the importance of voting in American society.
