Men of Change animation

Have you seen them?
You see them.
Bold. Powerful.
        Tragic. Beautiful.
                And true.
They are icons with warrior roots. They are trees of knowledge.
Legends of the past, inspiration for the future, the fierce energy of now.

Men of Change: Power.Triumph. Truth. honors them. Without their stories, the fabric of our country comes undone and history loses irreplaceable voices.

These men seek justice, battle for freedom, create unparalleled art. Seamless within African American traditions, their achievements transmit excellence like a force field.

Through 免费npv加速器官网, engage with a world of men, women, and communities that show how powerful a journey can be.

In these men: A lesson for us all
In these men: Stories of yesterday and now
In these men: Our meaningful tomorrows

Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth. profiles revolutionary men—Muhammad Ali, James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, W.E.B. Du Bois, Kendrick Lamar, and more—who have altered the history and culture of this country.

When this country strives to render them invisible, they are, instead, uplifted by a culture. You see them here in their true light.

Men of Change was developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and made possible through the generous support of the Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services.
