2018 MLB All-Star Weekend Program & Reception

Together with local communities, the Anacostia Community Museum illuminates and amplifies our collective power. As our neighborhoods undergo social, economic, and environmental changes that individuals alone cannot address, there is a need for communities to bring toghether their combined knowledge and strengths. As a museum that convenes people and ideas, ACM documents and preserves communities' memories, struggles, and successes, and offers a platform where diverse voices and cultures can be heard.  We believe that bridging disparate parts of the communities can bring collective action to bear on forging a better future together.We envision healthy neighborhoods that are empowered to work together to solve urgent issues. As a trusted and inclusive center, the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum seeks to inspire communities to take action, and is an incubator for the next genenration of civically engaged citizens. By illuminating the intersections of history, culture, and contemporary social issues afffecting DC metro area communities, including where they are in flux across urban/suburban boundaries, ACM uses a local lens to tell stories that resonate nationally and globally.

Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum

The Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum has revived its popular exhibition, “Separate and Unequaled: Black Baseball in the District of Columbia,” to celebrate this year’s All-Star Game at Nationals Park. Sponsored by ESPN’s The Undefeated, the exhibition chronicles and celebrates the history of African Americans in baseball in the nation’s capital during segregation. The exhibition uses historical photographs to narrate this very American story. First on display at the museum in 2008 “Separate and Unequaled” coincided with the opening of Nationals Park. The 10-year anniversary reopening includes three new murals and a selfie station. 
Join us for a conversation with American sportswriter, CLAIRE SMITH moderated by Clinton Yates, former Washington Post Columnist now Tastemaster and Senior Blogger at The Undefeated. A reception kicks off the program starting at Noon.
