On Friday afternoon at 1 p.m., a unity rally for diversity on UW campus was planned by Wisconsin athletes. Track and field athlete Armoni Brown was one of the leaders, along with former Badgers basketball player Samad Qawi, who set up the march which went from the arch at Camp Randall Stadium to Bascom Hall.
According to NBC 15’s George Balekji, “the march consisted of around 200 athletes, coaches, administrators and regular students to give a voice to the university’s Black students who make up less than 2% of the student body.
