Despite the plethora of challenges 2020 has offered to UH student athletes on and off the field, their commitment to make an impact in the community has not wavered, and Saturday’s demonstration was only one of many ways that they hope can change it for the better.
Hundreds of student athletes, coaches and students gathered as one voice to protest racial inequality on Saturday morning.
The student-led march held discussions from athletes across multiple programs, which featured speeches on mental health, personal experiences and religion.
“These people are fearless,” men’s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson said.
For him, the passion that this generation has shown has left him with strong confidence that changes for equality will happen.
