HBCU Football Legends Endorse Kamala Harris

Over 50 former football players from 25 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the presidency, coinciding with National Black Voter Registration Day. The endorsement highlights Harris' integrity and commitment to justice, with signatories including Pro Football Hall of Famers and notable NFL figures like Ed 'Too Tall' Jones and Art Shell. The athletes have urged voters to research candidates thoroughly rather than vote blindly, emphasizing the importance of an HBCU graduate in the White House. This support aims to energize Black voters, particularly HBCU alumni, as voter registration among Black communities surges ahead of the election. Harris is actively seeking to connect with young Black male voters, as recent polls indicate a shift in support towards Republican candidates among this demographic. The endorsement not only reinforces Harris' candidacy but also showcases the potential impact of HBCU alumni in the upcoming election.
