Two former University of Wisconsin track athletes are leading an effort to challenge the school's athletic department to commit more than words toward ending racism.
Hanna Barton and Banke Oginni said they want UW athletic administrators to meet with student-athletes directly to hear about the experience on campus for athletes of color.
"They have to do the work," Oginni said. "They have to be on the ground. And they have to really engage especially with student-athletes of color, how little there are, and sit down and have multiple real conversations. It just can't be like a photo op — one real conversation and say that they did it.
