This is not a showcase filled with NBA jerseys, autographs or video highlights. However, this collection will showcase signed letters and documents from Black leaders including Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Booker T. Washington and many more.

Webber hopes that visitors will take from this exhibit a feeling that you can do anything. "It's about finding something that you love to do, cultivate it, work hard at it and make a life that's better for you."
