I touched on the subject in an earlier TransGriot post, and I'll be tuned in from 6-8 PM EST on Friday night when ESPN hosts a town hall meeting from Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA on the current image of the Black athlete.It's part of the week of ESPN programming leading up to King Day that started January 11 entitled Content of Character.
This town hall will be hosted by Good Morning America's Robin Roberts and Outside The Lines Bob Ley.
The panelists for the two hour program will be director Spike Lee, ESPN commentator Michael Wilbon, Kentucky men’s basketball coach John Calipari, current WNBA Tulsa Shock player and world champion track & field athlete Marion Jones and former University of Miami football coach Randy Shannon.
Should be an interesting two hours.
