Caption

Olympic torch carried by Sally Ride, 2002. This torch and accompanying plaque are from Dr. Sally K. Ride's participation in the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay which preceded the Winter Games in Salt Lake City. The photograph shows her carrying the torch through San Diego, CA on January 14, 2002. The theme for torchbearers that year was "Inspire"-- torchbearers were nominated on the basis of how they inspired others. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space when she flew aboard STS-7 in 1983.
