On Thursday, OU football players and other student-athletes joined OU students in the Better Together March.

Over the past week, the University of Oklahoma has been in the news for negative events. More than one recent recorded incident of people sporting ‘blackface’ has cast a negative spotlight on OU and the culture it has worked to build. On Thursday, hundreds of students marched to protest the racist behavior exhibited by a few. Several of those students who participated in the Better Together March were also athletes.

From left to right you see football players Tre Norwood, Kenneth Murray, Neville Gallimore, Kenneth Mann, Mykel Jones and Nick Basquine, with many more on the scene including Robert Barnes, Grant Calcaterra, Jordan Parker and Levi Draper.
