Ann Arbor — On a day honoring Martin Luther King, the message at its core was for Michigan students — those who are athletes and those who are not — to come together and communicate and learn to understand one another.
Michigan athletics, partnering with Rise and the Trotter Multicultural Center, hosted a Martin Luther King Day symposium “Changing the Game” on Monday at the Junge Center, featuring Desmond Howard.
Howard stressed that while he attended Michigan, not only did he play football and go on to win the Heisman Trophy, but he had friends across campus who were not athletes.
