On April 28, 1975, George Foreman fought five opponents in one night at Maple Leaf Gardens. The exhibition match was meant to showcase his power after losing to Muhammad Ali in the infamous "Rumble in the Jungle." This was Foreman’s first professional loss. Desperate to rebuild his reputation as a fearsome contender, Foreman concocted a bizarre, yet potentially lucrative, plan: to fight five professional boxers in a single night. He faced Alonzo Johnson, Jerry Judge, Terry Daniels, Charlie Polite, and Boone Kirkman. Foreman won all 5 matches in an hour. The event did not count on his official record.

Step 1 - Find an old pencil sketch of Muhammad Ali that your dad did back in the 70's in your auntie’s kitchen and decide that you want to do your own version of it. Attempt to find the reference photograph that he must have used but fail. It turns out Ali has been photographed thousands of times over the years and the internet is not particularly helpful when you can’t be very specific. No problem. You’ll just have to make the detail up yourself.

The Sports: Leveling the Playing Field exhibit, part of the Community Galleries on the third floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, explores the contributions of athletes, both on and off the field. Because sports were among the first and most high-profile organizations to accept African Americans on terms of relative equality, sports have a unique role in American culture.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in December 2003 and opened its permanent home in September 2016. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story (five above and five below ground) was built to the postmodern design of Phil Freelon's Freelon Group, Sir David Adjaye's Adjaye Associates and Davis Brody Bond. The above ground floors feature an inverted step pyramid surrounded by a bronze architectural scrim, which reflects a crown used in Yoruba culture. With more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display, the NMAAHC is the world's largest museum dedicated to African-American history and culture.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.
