"All American: The Power of Sports" exhibit opens

National Archives Museum

The power of sports has many applications. Sports unite people, teach values, and inspire hope and pride. In the United States, sports have powered efforts to bring citizens together, shape them, and project a vision of what it means to be American. But sports convey power to athletes, too—power to break social barriers and protest injustice. All American explores the power of sports both to embody our national ideals and challenge us to live up to them.

All American: The Power of Sports opens on Friday, September 16, and will be on display through January 27, 2024.

All American: The Power of Sports is made possible in part by the National Archives Foundation through the generous support of AT&T, AARP, and Mars, Incorporated. Additional support provided by HISTORY^® and the Lawrence F. O’Brien Family. Opening Month support provided by Anheuser-Busch.
