The National Museum of African American History And Culture Displays Kobe Bryant’s Game 5 Jersey
Written by Site Hub on October 21, 2020
The National Museum of African American History and Culture will be displaying the jersey that Kobe Bryant wore during game five of the 2008 NBA Finals.
The jersey was originally supposed to be displayed in March, but due to the pandemic it had to be postponed.
The museum’s sports curator, Damion L. Thomas said that part of the reasoning for displaying Bryant’s jersey was that after Bryant’s death, he had been seeing visitors congregate by a photo of him that was up in the gallery.
“People were coming and taking pictures there and sharing stories about Kobe,” Thomas said. “It became a place for people to grieve and commune.”
