Manage episode 437210710 series 3493467
What drives athletes to risk it all for social justice on the world stage? Join me, Jeba Edmonds, on the Cultural Curriculum Chat Podcast as we uncover the powerful intersection of athletics and activism. From the historic 1968 Olympic Games protest by Tommy Smith and John Carlos to modern examples like Colin Kaepernick and Megan Rapinoe, this episode explores the impactful ways athletes use their influence to spark crucial conversations about social issues, despite the International Olympic Committee's stance on political neutrality.
Discover the latest acts of courage and solidarity at the Paris 2024 Games, where athletes like Afghan break dancer B-girl To Lash and the Algerian team are making bold statements for justice and human rights. Learn about their sacrifices and the immense risks they take to amplify marginalized voices and bring global attention to pressing issues. This is a thought-provoking discussion that bridges the realms of sports and social activism, offering valuable insights for educators and community members alike. Tune in to hear stories that challenge the status quo and inspire transformation.
