Andi Sullivan: A Hometown Story for the Anacostia Community Museum | 09.10.26

"To hear you tell me why I’m included [in the Smithsonian], means a lot to me and is not really what I expected!" - Andi Sullivan, midfielder and team captain for the Washington Spirit

At the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, Andi Sullivan, who was raised in Northern Virginia, got the chance to see the jersey she wore in the 2021 National Women’s Soccer League championship game, and the winner’s medal from the Spirit’s first league title. The Anacostia Community Museum is the only Smithsonian community museum and is dedicated to telling the story of everyday people making extraordinary changes in the Greater Washington, D.C. region. For nearly 60 years, the museum has documented the work of change makers and history keepers.

The Anacostia Community Museum collected Sullivan’s jersey because she is representative of what it means to be a changemaker in her community. You can learn more about other local changemakers and how community stories are the building blocks to the nation’s story at the Anacostia Community Museum right now, both in person and on their website.
