Biological Racist - "One who is expressing the idea that the races are meaningfully different in their biology, and that these differences create a hierarchy of value." - @ibramxk

The Mizzou football team's activism created a play

The Mizzou football team's activism created a playbook for other athletic teams to follow with their response to events happening in 2015. After their university president was accused of mishandling racial altercations on campus, the football team regularly joined their city on the streets and raised their voices. The players continued protesting and refusing to play football, even while their scholarships were being threatened. They gained support from other college athletes across the country and ultimately, the president and chancellor were both removed from their positions. They are still at the forefront today after decades of civil rights activism, continuing to fight for equal justice in their school and in the community at large.

Louise Stokes (left) and Tidye Pickett (right) wer

Louise Stokes (left) and Tidye Pickett (right) were the first Black women to be invited to compete in the Olympic games. Both had earned reputations for being record-setting runners at a young age. Due to the racism and sexism prevalent in the 1930s, they were not welcomed by their Olympic teammates and ultimately ended up watching the games from the stands. Join us on Zoom as we celebrate them, and the legacies of all athletes who continue to thrive in the face of injustice. April 10th @ 4 p.m. EST

Athletes serve as inspiration and entertainment in

Athletes serve as inspiration and entertainment in modern culture. They're also people who are just as affected by current events as the fans are. However, the pushback they receive when speaking up for themselves implies that society views them as a commodity. Join our Meetup on April 10th @ 4 p.m. EST to shift this belief.

"Black people are naturally better at basketball."

"Black people are naturally better at basketball."
"Asian women are built for figure skating and gymnastics."
"You're Dominican? So, do you play baseball?"

Where do we learn these ideas? And how do we unlearn them? Join the Meetup on April 10, 2021 @ 4 p.m. EST as we move forward with new language for old ideas. #april #sports #athlete #racialequality
