Stanford Roundtable on Racial Injustice Pac-12 Perspective

“What can I do to make sure this is a movement, not a moment?” In this special edition of the Pac-12 Perspective, four Stanford student athletes tackle that question and more in our first roundtable discussion on racial injustice in America. Thomas Booker, Jenna Brown, Maya Dodson and Ryan Walker-Hartshorn share their personal experiences as Black student athletes and discuss new ways to empower, educate and create real change. From dissecting performative activism, to examining the divide in the Black community at Stanford, this conversation provides a critical lens into how covert racism shows up on college campuses around the country.
