I Came as a Shadow: A talk about America’s struggle with racial justice through the lens of Georgetown University’s legendary coach, John Thompson
6:30p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
In person: Sweigart Room 115 or via Zoom
Journalist Jesse Washington, from ESPN’s The Undefeated, will look at today’s college sports landscape which was largely made possible by Coach John Thompson. His legacy includes forcing the NCAA to repeal a racially discriminatory SAT rule; confronting a drug kingpin who was associating with his players; and being the only coach who would give
Allen Iverson a basketball scholarship.
