Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service's collections
Corazón y Vida: Lowrider Culture in the United States / Cultura Lowrider en los Estados Unidos
<p>This Learning Lab collection is part of a larger project involving two exhibitions centered on the same theme. <em>Lowrider Culture in the United States / Cultura Lowrider en los Estados Unidos</em> is a traveling exhibition that will be presented in various states, while <em>Corazón y Vida: Lowrider Culture</em> is a special exhibition at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. Designed as an educational extension of the exhibitions, this collection offers educators and visitors the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Lowrider Culture. <br></p>
<p><br>ABOUT THE EXHIBITS</p>
<p>Lowriding is a quintessential Latino/a tradition started by Mexican American communities in the 1940s to assert their space and empower their lives. This unique car-making tradition is infused with Latino/a soul, entrepreneurship, and ingenuity. A mix of innovation and tradition, lowriding is an affirmation of identity and values that have reached beyond the United States to influence popular culture worldwide.</p>
<p><strong></strong>Traveling exhibition<em> Lowrider Culture in the United States / Cultura Lowrider en los Estados Unidos, and </em>National Museum of American History's exhibition<em> Corazón y Vida </em>are a project from the Smithsonian Institution that highlights a diverse selection of vibrant photographs and prints depicting lowrider culture and iconography while documenting its styles in the United States.</p>
<p>This joint project with two exhibitions opened in the Fall of 2025. The exhibitions are based on research from the Smithsonian and include objects from lowriding art and trade. Audiences can encounter a multifaceted picture of the American experience by learning about the Latino/a community identity through the lens of lowriding and its rich stories of creativity, family, and tradition. <br><br></p>
<p>These exhibitions examine the history of the post-World War II Mexican American community and the cultural expressions of lowriding through technology, innovation, and style.</p>
<p>HOW TO USE THIS COLLECTION</p>
<p>We recommend reviewing the Learning Lab Tips and Glossary before diving deeper into the collection.</p>
<p>This Learning Lab Collection utilizes Project Zero Thinking Routines, a toolbox developed by the Harvard Graduate School of Education to support and guide student's mental processes through questions that scaffold thinking. You can find more information about Project Zero in the link below, and by the end of this collection, as an additional resource.</p>

Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos
<p><em>Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos </em>shares the compelling story of legendary activist and leader Dolores Huerta (b. 1930) and the farm workers movement of the 1960s and 70s. It is a quintessentially American tale of struggle and sacrifice, of courage and victory.</p>
<p>As a complement to the exhibition, these educational resources explore Huerta's public life as an activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW) and what led her to become a Latina civil rights icon. In her life as a communicator, organizer, lobbyist, contract negotiator, teacher and mother, Huerta's unparalleled leadership skills helped dramatically improve the lives of farm workers.</p>
<p>Users will broaden their understanding of the farm workers movement through a careful look at Dolores Huerta's significant - but often under-acknowledged - contributions. The exhibition and educational resources also explore how workers of different ethnic and racial backgrounds came together to empower the movement and how the arts played an essential role. In addition, users will come to understand Huerta's far-reaching impact and important legacy. </p>
<p>The resources in this collection include a bilingual community engagement resource to promote dialogue on issues that relate to social justice, activism, leadership, etc. A few activities that can be used in the classroom or when you visit the exhibition at your local museum. In addition, you can learn more by listening to Dolores Huerta by downloading the free downloadable App "Dolores Huerta" on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.si.sites.DoloresHuerta&hl=en_US">Google</a> <em>* </em>and<em> </em><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dolores-huerta/id1447280199">Apple</a>.<em> </em>Please remember that the App takes a few minutes to download.<em></em></p>
<p><em>*The Dolores Huerta app for Android in Google Play is being updated and will return shortly. Please use the Dolores Huerta app available on iOS.” </em><em>Thank you, SITES exhibition team</em></p>

The Negro Motorist Green Book
<p>In 1936, Victor Hugo Green, a Harlem postman, began publishing a guide for African American travelers modeled after a similar publication for Jewish travelers. The <em>Green Book</em>, as it was known, was an instant success providing black travelers of the era with information on hotels, restaurants, service stations, and other facilities where they would be welcomed. In the era of Jim Crow and "sundown towns," this knowledge was not just helpful--it could be lifesaving.<br><br>The <em>Green Book</em> ceased publication in 1967, and the guidebook that for years had offered "travel without embarrassment" was lost to history. Few today remember its critical role in expanding horizons for African Americans.<br><br>The Smithsonian Institution brings this story to life with the exhibition, <em>The Negro Motorist Green Book</em>. This collection serves as a companion to the exhibit and features an immersive look at the harsh reality of travel for blacks in mid-century America and the vibrant parallel world of African American-friendly businesses that supported this travel. <br></p>

¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues/ ¡Pleibol! En los barrios y las grandes ligas
<p>Baseball has been a social and cultural force within Latino and Latin American communities across the United States for over a century. It is more than simply a game; Latinas/os have celebrated their communities, made a living, and challenged prejudice through baseball. Some used their talents to boost diplomacy around the world. Some offered humor and style from their home countries. Some symbolized the American dream, making it big and giving back to their communities in the United States and abroad. Those who seized the opportunities afforded by this global game have changed American baseball and culture more broadly. </p>
<p><strong><em>¡</em></strong><strong><em>Pleibol</em></strong><strong><em>! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues </em></strong>takes audiences on a journey into the heart of American baseball to understand how generations of Latinas/os have helped make the game what it is today. Their inspirational stories gesture to larger themes in American history that connect us all, on and off the diamond. </p>
<p>This project has been years in the making, from collecting objects and histories to the opening of this bilingual exhibition in 2021. </p>
<p>The following educational resources are thinking routines from Project Zero. All thinking routines can be used by any grade level with the appropriate scaffolding. The thinking routines and images can be combined as you see fit. </p>

<p>El béisbol ha sido una fuerza social y cultural en las comunidades de todo Estados Unidos desde el siglo XX. Es más que un mero juego: a través de él, los latinos y latinas han celebrado a sus comunidades, se han ganado la vida y han desafiado prejuicios. Algunos han empleado su talento para fomentar la diplomacia en el mundo. Otros han difundido el humor y el estilo de sus países natales. Otros, simbolizando del “sueño americano”, han retribuido a la sociedad dentro y fuera de EE.UU. Aquellos que aprovecharon las oportunidades que ofrece este juego universal han cambiado no solo el béisbol, sino la cultura del país.</p>
<p><strong><em>¡Pleibol!</em></strong><strong> <em>En los barrios y las grandes ligas</em></strong> es un viaje al corazón del béisbol estadounidense para conocer a las generaciones de latinos/as que han contribuido a hacer del juego lo que es hoy. Sus vivencias inspiradoras remiten a temas de la historia del país que nos unen a todos, dentro y fuera del diamante.</p>
<p>Este proyecto ha tomado años desde que comenzamos a reunir objetos e historias hasta la apertura de esta exposición bilingüe en 2021. </p>

Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence - Poster Exhibition
<p>Join the Smithsonian in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment with SITES' new poster exhibition <em>Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence</em>. This free, dynamic poster exhibition explores the complexity of the women's suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans' lives today. Request a FREE digital copy of the poster exhibition <a href="https://www.sites.si.edu/s/topic/0TO1Q000000cZgKWAU/votes-for-women-a-portrait-of-persistence">HERE.</a> <em>Votes for Women</em> includes ten engaging, full-color posters as well as a Poster Handbook and User Guide with display guidance and promotional and educational resources.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Take a closer look at the portraits and objects within <em>Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence </em>within this Learning Lab created by Educator <a href="https://learninglab.si.edu/profile/Nicole">Nicole Vance</a> for the National Portrait Gallery. <em>Votes for Women</em> outlines the more than 80-year movement for women to obtain the right to vote as part of the larger struggle for equality that continued through the 1965 Civil Rights Act and arguably lingers today. This Learning Module highlights figures such as Lucy Stone and Alice Paul, but also sheds light on the racial struggles of the suffrage movement and how African American women, often excluded by white women from the main suffrage organizations, organized for citizenship rights (including the right to vote).</p>
