Show Notes
Howard Universitys student-athletes must now stand or stay in the locker room during the national anthem, following a policy update. This change came after the womens basketball team knelt during a game, sparking controversy. Coaches and athletics leaders met with players, emphasizing that the team never intended to disrespect anyone. One athlete shared his personal beliefs about the anthems message and Americas history of oppression. Athletics officials stress that this isnt about silencing voices but balancing protest with the universitys goals of service and dialogue. Despite the shift, Howards commitment to fighting injustice remains strong, as the university is known as a hub of activism.
