How Is The Lacrosse Community Doing?

Members of the Hampton Unversity Lacrosse Team 

I have a new book coming out in January entitled Southern Food and Civil Rights (my day job is as a professor of history and foodways at Babson College) The book delves into movements for progressive change focusing on the 1920s through the 1960s and an afterword on Occupy Wall Street which occurred in 2011. I completed the book while the riot in Baltimore and the Black Lives Matter movement developed around the country. I also completed the book while Hampton University (an historical black college/university) began its first season fielding a NCAA Men's lacrosse team. In the following podcast I talk about the presence of African Americans in lacrosse since I played at Syracuse in the 1980s. [Listen Now 5min and 46sec] https://soundcloud.com/thestudytable/african-americans-in-lacrosse
