Utah Jazz launch 'Black History Heroes' program for K-12 students

The National Basketball Association has been built by black history.

So, too, has our nation.

To help ensure that lesson is learned and never forgotten, Utah Jazz players, head coach Quin Snyder and team governors Ryan and Ashley Smith are joining together to share the global impact of Black history heroes with K-12 students throughout the state of Utah.

The team’s Black History Heroes program is a streaming series on the team’s YouTube channel that will be available for schools to use as part of their curriculum. The team will explore people and events in Black history that have inspired them in their own lives.
