Cuonzo Martin gives in-depth interview on race relations, growing up black in America

Over the last few days, Missouri athletes, coaches and administrators have been speaking out on the ongoing civil unrest in America, specifically as it relates to the deaths of black men like Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. We’ve covered in the past two morning posts, including yesterday’s links post.

While I’m sure there are people who are tired of hearing about this story from outlets like Rock M Nation (and other Mizzou-centric publications), yesterday’s feature piece from PowerMizzou is worth putting in the spotlight.

Yesterday morning, the site published an in-depth conversation with Mizzou Hoops coach Cuonzo Martin, detailing everything from his thoughts on the past week, growing up black and America and how he sees the fight against racism.
