Assistant Professor of History Carl Suddler was recently quoted in a Washington Post article by columnist Jerry Brewer on what the resumption of NBA play might mean for Black athlete activism and the anti-racist movement broadly. Suddler is the author of Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York (NYU Press, 2019). Read Brewer’s article here: “In the fight for equality, the NBA can be a symbol and an inspiration — not a distraction.”
