Intercollegiate athletics, especially at its highest levels, exploits people of color. Panelists examine the many ways that Black and brown college athletes are used for their talent, denied opportunities to excel in the classroom, and are excluded from leadership positions in college sports administration and coaching. Experts and an activist former college athlete speak on these concerns as they’ve impacted their own experiences in college sports and suggest solutions to address racial exploitation in college sport, including congressional action.
PANELISTS: BRUCE SMITH, Ph.D. (Moderator), Director of Empowerment Strategies/CEO ACES Group; N. JEREMI DURU, J.D., Professor of Law, American University; KAIYA McCULLOUGH, Social Justice Advocate and Former Professional Soccer Player; EMMETT GILL, Ph.D., Chief Visionary Officer, Athletes and Advocates for Social Justice in Sports.
