Over a hundred University of Alabama athletes, coaches and support staff marched from the Mal M. Moore Athletic Building to Foster Auditorium on Monday afternoon, protesting racial injustice. After reaching Foster Auditorium – where then-Alabama Gov. George Wallace attempted to keep the university segregated with the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" on June 11, 1963 – UA football coach Nick Saban was the first of eight speakers.
“I’m like a proud parent today,” Saban said.
Three of Saban’s players spoke: running back Najee Harris, outside linebacker Jarez Parks and offensive lineman Chris Owens.
