The University of Minnesota men's basketball team is honoring Black History throughout the month of February. The Golden Gophers designed a "Celebrate As One" warm up shirts that are worn on bench and during games to signify that it's not just our Black student-athletes that celebrate the month, but all student-athletes, regardless of race or gender.
Listen to what Black History Month means to our Gopher student-athletes.
Through the month of February Gopher men's basketball also features Lift Every Voice and Sing prior to each game this month.
At halftime of the Feb. 12 game, Minnesota also welcomed the Heritage Youth Sports Foundation. A Minneapolis-based organization, its programming combines sport and academic instruction to encourage healthy emotional growth, physical fitness, and social diversity. Participants receive integrated instruction from certified coaches, combining the fundamental elements of athletics with instruction in basic physics, math, and reading skills.
