Atlanta Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce is taking on a visible leadership role, both within the organization and across the basketball landscape as a prominent member of the National Basketball Coaches Association’s committee on racial injustice and reform. Pierce has been eloquent in public statements throughout the month of June, using his voice to promote positive change in the community, and that continued on Monday when the 44-year-old stood alongside the Georgia NAACP in a peaceful march from the Richard B. Russell Federal Building to the State Capitol in Atlanta.
Pierce was joined by several members of the organization, including John Collins and Vince Carter.
