Jackson and King, joined by Maurice Ways, current football player and former Michigan and NFL football player Braylon Edwards, discussed the stereotypes and misrepresentations of Black athletes Thursday night in the Robertson Theatre in the Ross School of Business.
Dear subscribers,
The Michigan women's basketball team is looking to remain undefeated at home as they face Wisconsin on Sunday. Thursday, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King, two members of the Fab Five, and other current and former Black male student athletes discussed the stereotypes surrounding Black male athletes. Students4Justice held a sit-in at the Michigan Union Thursday as a response to the emails sent to University of Michigan engineering and computer science undergraduate students and the defilement of a prayer rug in the reflection room in the Shapiro Undergraduate Library. The Daily sat down with Indiana men's basketball guard James Blackmon Jr. ahead of their game against the Michigan men's basketball team Sunday. Finally, the Michigan baseball team will see fresh faces on the pitching mound this season, as just two of Michigan's starting pitchers from last year will be returning.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily
