Race In America: A Candid Conversation with Bill Hamid, Ish Smith and Renaldo Wynn
Listen now
Description
Chis Miller is joined by 3 prominent local sports figures: DC United Goalkeeper Bill Hamid, Wizards Guard Ish Smith and former Washington Football team Defensive Lineman Renaldo Wynn. The American way of life changed on May 25 with the murder of George Floyd. Since then, we've seen people across the country protesting and bringing to light the social injustices that exist - particularly in communities of color. Athletes have taken up the cause as well - with many using their platforms to help push for substantive change. This podcast is the second in a series of conversations with sports figures who have ties to the DMV.
