In October, the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground’s conversation series Give Me the Listening Ear asked “What Does Being A Black Coach Mean?” Moderated by Assistant Director Nick Bates, our esteemed guests shared their career journeys through the world of athletics as well as reflections on the intersection of blackness and sports and how the relationship between the two has evolved in light of the events of Summer 2020 and growing global support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Featuring:

Joe Jones, BU Men’s Head Basketball Coach
Marisa Moseley, BU Women’s Head Basketball Coach
Malcolm Doldron, BU Light Weight Rowing Head Coach
Gabe Sanders, BU Director of Track & Field and Cross Country
