“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!

“Failure is impossible.”

What a simple statement of confidence this is. Some might doubt it but Susan B. Anthony did not. And she knew that her commitment and belief would be necessary to support others who did not share it, yet.

Anthony’s spirited 50-year fight to gain the vote for women is detailed in a biography that gets its title from this quote: Failure Is Impossible: Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words by Lynn Sherr.
