On Thursday, Seth Towns participated in a virtual graduation ceremony from Harvard. On Friday, he got detained by police at a downtown Columbus protest in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man. On Saturday, video of the incident spread rapidly, getting picked up by national media outlets. And early Sunday morning, he appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter for an interview.
In his first media appearance since the detainment, Towns made clear that this won’t be the last time he speaks up – both with his words and actions.
“We have to be true to who we are, true to our voices,” Towns said on ESPN.
