In a powerful moment Wednesday night, more than 140 survivors took the stage at the 2018 ESPYS to accept the Arthur Ashe Courage Award on behalf of all those who were sexually abused by former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
Olympian Aly Raisman was among the women to accept the award in person, a group of "sister survivors" that stretched across the stage. Sarah Klein, who identified herself as Nassar's first victim roughly 30 years ago, called it "a portrait of survival."
"Speaking up and speaking out is not easy," Klein said. "Telling our stories of abuse over and over and over again, in graphic detail, is not easy.
