Black History Month Through The Eyes of Black Athletes

Several organizations at SMU are celebrating Black History Month in a variety of ways, and the Black Student-Athlete Committee (BSAC) is one of them. BSAC was created this school year after some athletes found themselves frustrated with the racial injustices that occurred this past summer.

Seeing what went on this summer, it was just too much,” Senior athlete, Jordanaé Scott said. “I knew I wanted to do something impactful at SMU and make my statement, because I won’t be here for long.”

Scott said she feels it’s important to help the people who look like her at SMU to get more out of their time on campus.
