“Black Oranges is important to me because I feel the moment has arrived for us as Black Syracuse Alumni Athletes to use our collective power and influence to push for a better Syracuse University. What happened last year at our alma mater cannot happen again. That was a national embarrassment. I sat down with the NotAgainSU students for 2 hours with my son Malcolm and just listened to them and was proud of their strength, courage, and commitment to creating a safe environment for Black And Brown students on Syracuse Campus for generations to come. I still can’t believe 30+ different racist incidents actually happened on campus that included a Swastika being painted on a wall, the n word painted numerous times, and a white supremacist manifesto air dropped to students, and still to this day not one arrest has been made. That’s just unacceptable. I want to push to make Syracuse the University I know it can be so that I can confidently recommend my and my wife Nichole’s alma mater to our children.”
