SUMMARY:Community of Change: Beyond the Game
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community dialogue about the experiences of Black male athletes facilitated by sports journalist Rana Cash and former NFL player and current member of the App State Athletics Department Doug Middleton!\nThis is the Gantt Center and Levine Museum’s second Community of Change conversation in honor of the Men of Change: Power.Triumph.Truth exhibition. Community of Change conversations place its participants at the forefront, allowing the discussion to take shape based on the contributions of each panelist. The Community of Change series explores themes presented in Men of Change to create space for difficult conversations that both enlighten and motivate.\nInspired by “Men of Change” Lebron James, Muhammad Ali and the athletes they continue to inspire, this conversation will explore the following questions:\n\nWhat role do Black male-dominated sports play in Black culture and history?\nIn what ways have these “Men of Change” leveraged their talent for broader contributions and success?\nWhat can we collectively learn from the Black male athlete’s experience?\n\nThe conversation will move beyond the men presented in the exhibition into a wider discussion about the experiences of Black men in sports. Discussion topics will include:\n\nThe intersection of professional sports and politics\nMental health for the Black male athletes\nTransferrable skills developed in athleticism\nThe damage done by stereotypes\nThe pressures on and expectations on Black male athletes\n\nPlease join us to contribute your valued perspective in an experience meant to strengthen our collective connection.\nWednesday, December 14th\n6:30 pm at Harvey B.
