So much work to do to keep our athletes safe, focusing as much on changing cultural and social attitudes that put children in harm’s way as we do on improving safety equipment #guardiancaps #concussions #sportsafety #culturechange #socialrespsonsibility #coacheducation

Important thread 🧵. Remember the past to learn about the present and fight for a better future #VincentChin #AsianAmerican #History #USHistory #CivilRights #StopAAPIHate
41 years ago, #VincentChin was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat by two White autoworkers in Detroit.
His killing became representative of the violence, racism, and discrimination that #AsianAmericans have long endured in the US.
It also sparked a movement.
