Look around the Washington Huskies basketball program. It is black and white. It is old and young. It comes from states like Georgia, New York and Washington. It comes from nations like Congo, New Zealand and the United States.
Anyone who has followed the Huskies this season is aware of their “Tougher Together” mantra adopted by first-year coach Mike Hopkins. The phrase is plastered all over the team’s social media accounts, the Alaska Airlines Arena and its even on the team’s warm-up shirts. On the back of those shirts are words like “equality”, “family” and “strength.”
Those words are the product of the Huskies addressing the topic of social injustice.
