This morning, Union President Tim McDermott shared a statement with the club’s staff that included a diversity and inclusion action plan. Additionally, the entire Union organization gathered for an extended discussion led by Widener University’s Chief Diversity Officer, Micki Davis, about the history behind Juneteenth and the legacy of racism and slavery in the United States. Following that discussion, staff engaged with the details of the club’s action plan and how the Culture, Awareness, Race, and Ethnicity resource team will ensure that this becomes the foundation of broader cultural growth within the Union organization, the sport of soccer, and our country as a whole.
