Athletics Director Mike Bohn announced via a letter to the USC Trojans family, that he’s created a USC Athletics Black Lives Matter Action Team. There are other initiatives involved to help combat racism and support the Black community.
Bohn’s letter, sent out via social media, states the following:
“Dear Trojan Family,
We have all been so deeply affected the past several weeks by the horrific deaths of George Floyd, Bronna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, and so many others, combined with the demonstrations and unrest throughout our country.
On my first day at USC, I stated my intent to listen, learn and then lead.
