Time has passed, but not much has changed regarding race relations for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
A little over 50 years after the University of Alabama desegregated, Alabama Crimson Tide student-athletes still face racial inequality. In light of recent events, several athletes have come forward sharing their stories from their time with Crimson Tide sports’ teams.
Most recently, former gymnast Tia Kiaku shared her truth from her time on the Alabama Gymnastics team. Kiaku walked on to the Alabama Gymnastics team for the 2019 season. On the recent #BlackOutTuesday event on social media to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, Kiaku shared a piece of her story.
