By Shelby Brown–
Since Colin Kaepernick’s protested the National Anthem by taking a knee, similar protests and debate have sparked across the nation. U of L’s department of Pan-African studies discussed that debate in its “#TakeAKnee: Exploring the Intersection Between White Supremacy and Sports” panel Nov. 7.
Panelists included professor Cedric Powell and Laura McNeal of the Brandeis Law School, Pan-African Studies Department Chair Ricky Jones and Nicholas McLeod. McLeod is a doctoral student in the Pan-African studies department.
