Jordan Wright
Lawyer and magazine publisher Jordan M. Wright began collecting memorabilia at
the age of 10. In his life, he amassed a collection of more than a million objects. His
goal was to create a permanent exhibit called the Museum of Democrac. When the
original core of this book was published in 2008, it became the first public view of
this collection. He suddenly passed away at age 50 and left his collection and his
dreams of a museum to his family. He would be happy to know that the Museum of
Democracy is now a reality at Long Island University in New York. In addition to
the permanent exhibit, there is also a touring display of the collection, which makes
guest appearances in museums and universities across the United States. Although he
is not here to witness it, these exhibits and this new updated version of his book are here to
keep Wright's dream and his collection alive.
