SUMMARY:Everyday Democracy: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness in Johnson County
DESCRIPTION:Democracy isn’t only written in founding documents or decided at the ballot box — it’s lived every day. For 250 years\, people across the United States have claimed\, challenged\, and redefined democratic ideals through their choices\, voices\, and communities. This new exhibition explores how everyday experiences of Johnson Countians have shaped the meaning of Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness — and asks what role each of us will play in democracy’s future.

And re-visit Truman’s harsh critique of Coach Hank Stram’s call after the Chiefs lost to the Raiders. \n“Our new exhibition will engage both Kansas Citians and people from around the world visiting for the FIFA World Cup matches\,” said Mark Adams\, director of the Truman Library. “The Trumans loved sports. Bess was quite an athlete as a young woman and President Truman loved horseshoes\, fishing\, and swimming. Of course\, Kansas City’s football\, baseball and soccer teams are a huge source of community pride\, so this exhibition brings all those elements together in a celebration of sports.” \nUnited We Play will showcase a remarkable collection of artifacts\, souvenirs and memorabilia\, including: \n\nNFL season passes made of 14k gold presented to President Truman\nChiefs owner Lamar Hunt’s ticket to the first game played in Arrowhead Stadium\nBess Wallace Truman’s ice skates\nPresident Truman’s cap from the Kansas City Blues baseball club\nKansas City Royals jacket and George Brett commemorative bat presented to President Ronald Reagan after the 1985 World Series Championship\n2015 Kansas City Royals World Series jersey given to White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest\, a Kansas City native\nPhoto of President Truman with baseball icons Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle\nSoccer ball from the 2013 Sporting Kansas City championship team\n\n“Sports spark our passion and create joy like few other things\,” said Alex Burden\, Executive Director of the Truman Library Institute. “We believe United We Play will generate pride\, nostalgia and a deeper understanding of the Trumans’ lives and how sports can unite our community and people around the world.” \nThe exhibition opens April 1 at the Truman Library at 500 West U.S. 24 Highway in Independence\, MO. Both United We Play and The Story of US: America at 250 (opening April 20) are included with admission. \nJoin us as Kansas City–and the world–play united.
