May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month! 🏀🏃🏾‍♀️⚾

Movement has long been a powerful expression of discipline, resilience, community, and joy. Across generations, sports and physical activity have created pathways for excellence, connection, and cultural impact—both on and off the field.

This month, we’re highlighting objects from The Lewis collection that reflect the legacy of Black athletes, the power of movement, and the stories of those who changed the game.
