“How can you get mad at me when I’m trying to look out for the welfare of my community?”
For University of Virginia alumnus and two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long, “sticking to sports” just isn’t an option. On April 27, Long joined athletics director Carla Williams, former basketball player Akil Mitchell, and African American and African Studies and History professor Claudrena Harold for a panel held at UVA focusing on athletics and race. The idea for the panel stemmed from the horrific events of August 11-12.
Long is no stranger to speaking his voice and using his platform to support his community.
