SUMMARY:Athletes' Voices Webinar: The Origins of Change
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: center;">	<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="29bd5479-6754-4211-84ae-4b275cf1da44" alt="Athletes' Voices Pitch for Change Speaker Series" data-view-mode="hwp_large"></drupal-media></p><p style="text-align: center;">	<strong>The Origins of Change:<br><em>The Role of Sports in Breaking Down Barriers, Creating Movements + Leaving a Legacy</em></strong></p><p>	Athletes + Activism. The two have been connected since the earliest sporting events - long before Moses Fleetwood Walker took the field on May 1, 1884 in Toledo, Ohio as the first African-American Major League baseball player. But never before has the presence of athlete activism been as prevalent nor as pervasive as it is today. Join us for a discussion of the history and the future of athlete activism around the world.</p><p>	Panelists:<br><a data-url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pau_Gasol" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pau_Gasol" title="">Pau Gasol</a>, Former NBA All-Star; Gasol Foundation<br><a data-url="https://alicenter.org/team/donald-e-lassere/" href="https://alicenter.org/team/donald-e-lassere/" title="">Donald E.
