Expert Statements
Ed Welburn, Guest curator of For Gold & Glory
“Charlie Wiggins was so much more than just a great race car driver. He was a brilliant mechanic, an innovator, a craftsman, and a champion who achieved extraordinary accomplishments despite barriers that should never have been placed in his way. I have carried Charlie's story with me for many years, and seeing it come to life through For Gold & Glory is deeply personal. My hope is that people walk into this exhibition not knowing his name and leave inspired by his story and unbelievable perseverance.”
