The exhibition’s content will be posted on authentic plywood panels that were used on buildings in the Louisville protests and marches. These panels, originally used as barriers, will be repurposed as the platform on which we are sharing this important history. Truth Be Told also features a spray-painted mural created by Louisville artist Braylyn Resko Stewart.
Said Donald Lassere, President and CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center, “It important for everyone to understand that our frustration, anger, and outrage stems not only from the disproportionate unjust killing of black folk but truth be told, we are frustrated from 400 plus years of policy upon policy that has rooted systemic racism into the fabric of this nation.”
Truth Be Told is sponsored by NASCAR and Block by Block.
“The work of the Ali Center in telling the stories of African Americans and their contributions to our culture is vitally important in building unity and bridging the racial divide in our country,” said Dawn Harris, NASCAR Managing Director, Diversity and Inclusion. “The scenes documented in the Ali Center’s powerful Truth Be Told exhibit should remind us all of the critical need to stand together in the fight against racism and racial injustice.”
“Block by Block is honored to support the Muhammad Ali Center as it visually shares the history of how persons of color have been unjustly treated for decades,” said Blair McBride, President of Block By Block. “This is a powerful exhibit that hopefully will bring much-needed awareness to a world that needs more understanding, empathy, and love. We at Block by Block are honored to have played a role in bringing this exhibit to life.”
The call to action for Truth Be Told is to Learn, Share, and Vote. Museum patrons will: LEARN the true history of the policies that have affected Black people; Be encouraged to SHARE what they have learned with anyone who will listen, And hopefully, will be motivated to VOTE for the people on the ballot who will make the right decisions for all people in this country.
Truth Be Told is open now through Sunday, April 18th, 2021. Exhibit entry is included in the regular admission price. For more information on this exhibit and Ali Center’s hours of operation, visit AliCenter.org.
