'Milwaukee’s very behind in terms of being progressive. There are things that need to change rapidly,” said Bucks' starter Malcolm Brogdon.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREMalcolm Brogdon, one of the starters for a Milwaukee Bucks team that has fashioned the best record in the NBA, was profiled in a lengthy piece by The Guardian that chronicled his unique upbringing and awareness of social inequity for black Americans — including in Milwaukee.
The Bucks have demonstrated an awareness of Milwaukee's racial inequity, including for their own players. The team issued a statement in staunch support of Sterling Brown, who filed a lawsuit against the city and its police department after he was tased and arrested by officers who approached him in a Walgreens parking lot after Brown's car was parked illegally.
The Guardian dives deeper into Brogdon's family life. The son of a lawyer and dean of the science and maths department at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Brogdon grew up with a keen understanding of the civil rights movement and the sentiments that created a rift between the races. His family also traveled to Africa for three weeks on a vacation, where the Brogdons worked in day care and maternity centers.
