“Roberto Clemente’s story is a study in character and drive and the ascendancy of man to myth. It provides a unique glimpse into the America of his time, the game known as “America’s Pastime,” and the heroism that transcends both.”

The Smithsonian is providing a traveling exhibit on Roberto Clemente. On the web site, below, you can find more information about Roberto and the exhibit. There are some very interesting videos online too!
