"Dear Black Boy" Reading with Martellus Bennett

[marylander1940]

 

The message that sports and entertainment careers are low-hanging fruit is something Bennett wants to push. He said that often when people become professional athletes, they don’t think about what will happen when that career is over.

 

 

“If you play sports, use sports,” he advised. “So many of our kids get used by the game and then get nothing out of it. Use it as a tool to open up other doors that you want to open in life.”

 

OP note: They say art can be activism, but activism can never be art... That might be wrong!
