NBA star LeBron James and a number of other top Black athletes and entertainers are creating a new group which will work to protect African-American voting rights, James said Wednesday to the New York Times' Jonathan Martin.
“Because of everything that’s going on, people are finally starting to listen to us—we feel like we’re finally getting a foot in the door,” James told The Times. “How long is up to us. We don’t know. But we feel like we’re getting some ears and some attention, and this is the time for us to finally make a difference.
