On this special edition of the 3-Minute Drill, we discuss the impact of the Little Rock Nine, a group of black students that helped desegregate Little Rock Central High School 50 years ago.
Georgia Director of Athletics Damon Evans joins us on the program to share his thoughts about the Little Rock Nine and discuss racial diversity in intercollegiate athletics. NCAA Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Charlotte Westerhaus shares a historical perspective on the Little Rock Nine and tells us how the NCAA has changed over the last five decades.

I appreciate this kind of post. It shows that many of us have a strong and genuine desire for inclusion and equality.
However, we know we have a long way to go when copycat cases of noose hanging are popping up at colleges around the nation. Sports are one of the best ways to get people on one page, and I'm glad that's happening here.

Sox-Yankees happens 18 times a year; this is Figgy's second major league start in four years. Always take the chance to see something you've never seen before.
