Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree is Leading the Charge in Philadelphia’s Black Lives Matter Movement

Right hand. Left hand. Crossover.

Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree had executed this simple transfer of power many times in his life. As a high-schooler leading Neumann-Goretti to the Pennsylvania state championship. During a practice with Jay Wright. An act as simple as dribbling a basketball during Villanova’s 2018 National Championship season.

It’s safe to say, though, that his most important dribbles didn’t take place on the basketball court, but away from it. On June 2, 2020, Cosby-Roundtree led a Black Lives Matter march through Philadelphia. With each step he took on the blazing pavement, the Spaulding ball sputtered against the surface.
