How LeBron James has become a leading voice for social justice in a racially divided nation.
“Respected because he is providing a service for his country at a critical time and sees how important it is for everyone to get out and vote. This country needs leadership, and he is doing his part by stepping up where it is needed. As a successful Black man in America with kids of his own, he certainly can relate to the racism of Black people and therefore, he is genuinely committed to change.”
“It’s hard for me to separate the player and the man,” said Brandon Bagley, an NBA fan and a former track star at the University of Kentucky who lives in Louisville. “His basketball talent facilitates his activism. His word wouldn’t matter as much or reach as far if he were not a great player. But he is willing to risk his status in the eyes of some of the public to stand up for what he believes in.
“She represented the few who continue to hold on to the belief that leadership qualities cannot transfer outside of the given area,” said Dr. Christopher Bass, a forensic psychologist. “This is not the belief of the majority. We, as a community, recognize that athletes are not merely one-dimensional. The average citizen believes that leadership skills are transferable.
"The best thing she did was help me create more awareness,” James said of Ingraham at the time."We will definitely not shut up and dribble. ... I mean too much to society, too much to the youth, too much to so many kids who feel like they don't have a way out." It is James’ sense of history that impresses Mitchell. “The only athlete Jordan had as a national celebrity to look at growing up was O.J.,” he said, referring to O.J. Simpson, the former NFL great acquitted of murder in the death of his ex-wife and her friend in 1995. “It was not lost on me that when LeBron was taking Cleveland to the Finals that first time, he went over to Jim Brown and bowed. He showed reverence. And that’s a part of who he is that is impressive.
