Summary
A day to highlight the continued disparity in African American representation in coaching.

According to various studies and reports, African Americans make up a disproportionate percentage of athletes in many sports compared to the general population, but they are underrepresented as coaches and executives. This disparity has been a long-standing issue and has been the subject of much discussion and efforts to address it in recent years.
