Among the many sports museums in Alabama is the Jesse Owens museum in North Alabama.  And in 2022, The World Games comes to Birmingham, Alabama.

The Jesse Owens museum highlights the achievements of this OLYMPIC WINNER that defeated racism by winning while the Olympics was in Nazi Germany.

This is an inspirational visit for school children, especially those in field and track.
