Plays in Place and the Kittie Knox story!
/
“Plays in Place is honored to announce that we have been given the Katherine T. “Kittie” Knox Award from The League of American Bicyclists
“This award recognizes champions of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the bicycling movement. This award goes to an individual or group that has led in making bicycling more inclusive and representative and has worked to remove barriers to participation by underserved and underrepresented people in their community, state, or country.”
Pioneering and groundbreaking cyclist Kittie Knox is an important historical figure we are proud to help champion (she's one of the highlights of our MA250 Banner project that you can visit at Nipper Maher Park, 65 Dartmouth St, Waltham). Plays in Place has given us the costume replica from The Kittie Knox Plays (2025). It is normally on display next to our exhibit (one of the few, if any) on Knox and her accomplishments as a biracial woman in the cycling world of the 19th Century, but is currently back on loan to PIP for this important outreach opportunity.
It's wonderful to see actress Hampton Richards wearing the outfit, so important to Kittie Knox's story!
