The Alabama football team marched for social justice on Monday, and head coach Nick Saban led the way.
The team began its march at the Mal Moore Athletics Facility just after 4 p.m. local time and worked its way to Foster Auditorium on Alabama’s campus in Tuscaloosa. Foster Auditorium is known for the “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” incident in June 1963, where Alabama Gov. George Wallace stood in the building’s doorway in an effort to block the university from integrating and allowing two Black students to register for classes.
Najee Harris, a senior running back who announced the event on social media on Friday, invited athletes from other Alabama sports to join the march.
