An advocate for the LGBTQ community, Reggie Bullock has been named a finalist for the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award.
After Bullock’s sister, a transgender woman named Mia Henderson, was murdered in 2013, he dedicated his life to honoring her by fighting for LGBTQ visibility and acceptance.
Bullock’s work includes teaming with Athlete Ally last year to defeat anti-trans bills in South Dakota that would have banned transgender athletes from playing at the high school level. In addition, he has lobbied for NCAA schools to adopt more trans-inclusive policies to allow transgender athletes to participate in sports.
