Join the Rhode Island Historical Society, as part of Smithsonian Affiliations in collaboration with the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium, for a full day of activities as we celebrate Sally Ride’s legacy as an astronaut, physicist, educator, and advocate for young people.

Sally’s Night is a nationwide celebration of women in STEM led by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, in collaboration with 21 Smithsonian Affiliate organizations. In recognition of the 40th anniversary of Sally Ride becoming the first American woman in space, over 20 organizations across the United States will hold events focusing on women and underrepresented genders in science, technology, engineering, and math. This project received Federal support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative Pool, administered by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.
