    6:00pm to 7:00pm

    Location: 

    Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School—Online

Once considered a 'politically neutral' space, the sports industry is now a contested stage for American patriotism and dissent — as well as power struggles between white owners and managers, and the vast majority of players, who are of color. How are players and journalists using this stage to advance racial equity in the U.S. today?

Some universities, including the University of Chicago, have for years observed a policy of neutrality in which the institution declines to take a public position on political matters. Other institutions may choose to make statements on certain local, national, or international...
