I had the privilege of attending the dedication ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture last night. Athletic achievement is a main feature within the museum. Lots of Ali. I certainly didn't water around the entire museum as we couldn't bring alcohol to the exhibits and the band was bumping. I also didn't make a specific effort to find everything Buckeyes related, but did come across some stuff worth sharing. Apologies, my phone camera is junk.

Bronze (presumably) statue of Jesse Owens:

Jesse Owens track cleats from 1936 Olympics:

Jesse Owens narrative:

Signed Archie Griffin helmet (thought I had a better photo...):

But not everything about the museum was good. From small gripes (day one, Ali is presented as still alive) to the utterly inexcusable crap:

It was a great night, but that's beyond the scope of this post. If you're ever in the DC area, the museum is worth a visit: very well done. It's sold out until mid-November though, except maybe weekdays, so you will need to plan ahead.
