RISE honors the profound legacy of a man whose unwavering commitment to justice continues to inspire movements for equality worldwide. Malcolm X challenged us to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic racism and taught us that standing firmly in one's identity is an act of resistance. His evolution as a leader reminds us that growth, self-reflection, and the courage to change one's perspective are essential in the fight for justice. The world of athletics has long been a platform for continuing Malcolm X's legacy of speaking truth to power—from raised fists on Olympic podiums to athletes demanding accountability and change in their communities today. As we remember Malcolm X, we recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of creating truly equitable spaces in sports and society. True progress requires both honest dialogue and meaningful action. #MalcolmXDay #RISEtoWin #SocialJustice #SportsForChange
