Shortly before the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened to the public in 2016, Kobe Bryant took a walk through its sports gallery, which chronicles Black athletes’ fight for

equality and their cultural contributions.

Those items had not yet made it into the museum’s gallery, but after Bryant’s sudden death in a helicopter crash in January, which also killed his daughter Gianna Bryant, the museum has decided to put his jersey on display, it said Monday. “People were coming and taking pictures there and sharing stories about Kobe,” Thomas said. “It became a place for people to grieve and commune.”

The museum’s collection includes clothing worn by other Black athletes of note, including Colin Kaepernick’s jersey, Derrick Rose’s shirt reading “I can’t breathe,” and Muhammad Ali’s robe.
