Cory Durden, FSU Players Organize Unity Walk After Killing of George Floyd

With protests against systemic racism and police brutality continuing to gain momentum around the country, Florida State's football players wanted to make sure the message was heard loud and clear on campus.

To make that happen, defensive tackle Cory Durden first went to his head coach, Mike Norvell, to help produce a unity walk that would continue to spark discussions of meaningful change in Tallahassee, Florida.

"I feel like with the coronavirus and everything that's going on around the world, I feel like we needed to do something to bring everyone together," Durden told Curt Weiler of the Tallahassee Democrat.
