NAACP mobilizes Black athletes to boycott college programs amid voting-power redistricting
The NAACP launches an “Out of Bounds” campaign urging Black athletes and supporters to boycott eight flagship public universities in eight states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas) and to withhold tickets as states redraw districts following a Supreme Court ruling that narrowed voting-rights protections. The goal is to pressure leaders to restore Black voting power and ensure fair maps, with recruits encouraged to consider transferring to historically Black colleges and universities.
