Huskers Speak Out on Social Justice



Lincoln –The Nebraska basketball team program with a united voice on Thursday, as the Huskers made a statement on social justice. 

Donned in black shirts and black shorts, each team member went to the microphone and said they stood for a black person who was the victim of racism or police violence before Kobe Webster and Teddy Allen spoke on behalf of the team.

“We stand together as one to find ways to educate people to hopefully stop this terrible trend of lives being lost for no reason,”  Webster said. “This is not a political fight. This about being a decent human being.”

We know we are not going to change everything with what is happening by standing here today,” Webster said. “The goal for us is to simply to make our community and our state stand behind us in not accepting these injustices as OK and turning a blind eye. 

“Caring about someone else’s life should fall within basic human ideals,” Allen said. “We want to play a role in the change, and we want you all to join us. No more hashtags – only change and justice”
