The National A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum (NAPRPPM), in partnership with the Black McDonald's Operators Association of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (BMOA), proudly announces the Inaugural BMOA Track & Field Event. Slated for Saturday, June 20, 206, this is one of the featured competitions within the museum's growing Juneteenth Youth Olympics. This occasion is produced by Museum 44, the Museum's Youth and Young Adult Division named in honor of the 44th President Barack Obama.

The Juneteenth Youth Olympics – BMOA track and field event is inspired by the remarkable legacy of the late Cirilo McSween, one of Chicago's most influential sports historians, educators, athletes, and community advocates. McSween dedicated his life to preserving African American sports history while mentoring generations of young athletes. McSween was also one of the first Black franchise owners of 11 McDonald’s restaurants. He bought his first McDonald’s restaurant in 1979 as part of the new State Street Mall, the first Black-owned location downtown at 230 S. State St.

The Youth Olympics will take place at the Dr. Conrad Worrill Track & Field Center, 810 East 104th St. from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Gately Stadium Park in Chicago’s historic Pullman community.

More than a competition, the inaugural event serves as a community introduction to the sport of track and field. Organizers are encouraging youth, families, beginners, and anyone interested in learning about track and field events to participate regardless of experience.
