Jason Interviews Dr. Anthony Weems: Racism in College Sports Facilities' Names
Jason Interviews Special Guest Dr. Anthony Weems, Professor and Co-Author of the Article "Who are We Honoring? Extending the Ebony & Ivy Discussion to Include Sports Facilities." We have witnessed the protests associated with Black Lives Matter and our efforts to grapple with tackling and understanding systemic racism in our society since George Floyd's death in May 2020.
Part of this discussion invovles analyzing whether University Officials at Division I (Football and Basketball) Schools should remove the names of individuals with racists pasts from campus buildings and structures with their namesake? Dr. Weems co-authored the article, "Who Are We Honoring?" along with Professor Robert Turick of Ball State University, Professor Nicholas Swim of University of Louisville, Professor Trevor Bopp of the University of Florida, and Professor John M. Singer of Texas A&M University. Weems and company identified at least eighteen sporting facilities in the United States that were named after athletic administrators, coaches, and philanthropists who engaged in racist activities or harbored racist views. I enjoyed our interview and look forward to sharing this critical disucssion with each of you.
