How can athletes succeed as advocates for social change?

In modern sports, athlete-activists have been on the front lines of social movements.


However, the sharp edge of society’s judgment often points towards athletes who raise their voices for social change.


The Atlantic will gather athletes, business leaders, community activists, educators, and journalists to explore the intersection between athletes and activism.
