We envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.
For over twenty years, we have honored and promoted the legacy of Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.
The Jackson Center advances the legacy of Justice Robert H. Jackson through education, using a variety of methods including in-person and virtual programs and presentations, exhibits, available media, and scholarship. We demonstrate the contemporary relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and work to current and future generations.
Adapted from American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution, Voices and Votes combines historic election photos, memorabilia, and multimedia interactive displays with material collected from the Chautauqua region for a local perspective on our important role in national democratic systems.
Your gift enables us to envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.

Raymond D’Addario was one of a few photographers assigned by the Army Pictorial Service to document the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. On November 21, 1945, senior Nazi officials took their seats in Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice. Ray’s photograph of the main defendants sitting in the docket surrounded by U.S. military guards has become the iconic symbol of the trial.
