Hunter Reynolds knew he wanted to do something big, something that will move people and create positive change, a legacy that would continue long after his time at Michigan.
He texted his friend Benjamin St-Juste, a former Michigan football teammate who is now playing at Minnesota, and together they began to hatch a plan.
“A couple days go by, we’re throwing ideas back and forth,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds, who is part of the recently created Big Ten Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition that has representatives from every conference member, had been thinking a lot about his role in society during the days and weeks since the death of George Floyd on May 25 sparked protests across the country and jump-started conversations about racial inequality.
