The Cubs have been out in front of Major League Baseball’s efforts to support the Black Lives Matter movement and stand with their players and coaches to fight racial injustice and inequality.
On Friday, Cubs players and coaches wore T-shirts that read ‘‘Black Lives Matter’’ during pregame warmups and sent out a statement on Twitter with the signature of every player.
Several private conversations among players, coaches and staff behind the scenes have accompanied the Cubs’ public displays of solidarity, along with their commitment to continue to be part of the change as an organization and as individuals.
