Beyond Beast

  • Our very own Dr. Gary F. Green, II, Ph.D. facilitated a rich conversation about the brilliance of Black athleticism as displayed among NFL players, featuring perspectives from three current and former football stars. We will tackled the issues of race, masculinity, and power as they converge on Black men’s bodies via the historical image of “beast,” and ultimately move beyond this trope by highlighting the real brilliance behind some of the most extraordinary athletic feats we’ve all witnessed both on and off the field.
