The Golden State Warriors, in conjunction with the organization’s Beyond28 campaign, presented by Chase, will tip-off Black History Month today with a variety of activations and virtual events that will expand past this calendar month. Throughout the month of February and beyond, the Warriors will continue to recognize, honor and celebrate Black History through community activations and video content series. Beyond28 is founded on the premise that Black History and Culture is something that should be honored year-round, not just contained in the month of February, which is typically only 28 days.
This morning, the Golden State and Santa Cruz Warriors hosted an Anti-Racism Webinar for middle and high school students and teachers from Oakland and San Francisco Unified School Districts and Santa Cruz City Schools. Shaun Livingston, Warriors Director, Player Affairs and Engagement joined WNBA player Natasha Cloud and Chase Executive Director for Business Development for Advancing Black Pathways Debra Langford for a candid conversation focused on race, bias and privilege.
In alignment with the NBA’s Black History Month initiative, this year’s celebrations are part of week-long themes: Teaching and Learning from our Past, Celebrating Black Culture and Black Business, The Movement for Racial Justice, and Investing in Black Futures. Below are some of the Warriors’ upcoming Black History Month activations:
