Change is coming and Toronto FC defender Justin Morrow is helping lead the way.
The 32-year-old fullback from Cleveland is executive director of the newly formed Black Players Coalition of MLS, aimed at addressing racial inequality in the league and positively impacting Black communities across Canada and the U.S.
The coalition was announced Friday on Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the U.S.
“We pledge to help bridge the racial equality gap that exists in our league by lobbying for initiatives like implicit bias training, cultural education courses, and diversification hiring practices,” the coalition said.
