Black Athletes and the Politics of Boycotts The NAACP has launched its "Out of Bounds" campaign, targeting public universities in seven Southern states that have implemented voting restrictions aimed at limiting Black representation.
The nation's oldest civil rights group is calling on Black athletes to withhold their support from these programs, arguing that they are complicit in perpetuating systemic racism.
This campaign is not just about the financial leverage of athletic programs; it's a test of whether institutions that profit from Black talent will stand with their communities when their fundamental rights are under attack.
