Missouri State head women's basketball coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton released a statement on Twitter in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the accompanying protests around the country.
'Coach Mox,' who is the first African-American female head coach for any sport in Missouri State's history, wrote that she is "sick and tired of being sick and tired" while also writing that racism will continue "until we all are ready to step up and be the change we wish to see."
Floyd's death was shown in a video that was posted online of a police officer kneeling on his neck for several minutes.
