Malcolm Brogdon (MPP '16) had a megaphone in his hand and family history on his mind. It was May 30 in his native Atlanta, and hundreds were listening to Brogdon address the fury that had swept America since the death of George Floyd. There were other NBA players at this peaceful demonstration, and there would be more athletes at more protests in the days to come. But he told the crowd something perhaps no one else in professional sports could have said.
