Don’t miss the Black Heritage in Racing Exhibit at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville, now through Feb. 26. This exhibit, which originated at the Kentucky Derby Museum, explores the significant contributions of Black Americans to the early success of the Kentucky Derby. The exhibit also addresses the impact of segregation and Jim Crow, which led to the exclusion of African Americans from the racing industry. The display also narrates the stories of Black individuals who served as primary caretakers for horses in the 20th century. The exhibit is free with the purchase of a ticket to Belle Meade Historic Site.
