BLACKSBURG – Voice of the Hokies Jon Laaser recently had a very frank conversation on Wednesday with Tech's cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith.
Laaser, who is a native of the Minneapolis area, shares his experience of growing up in a very non-diverse suburb of the Twin Cities and seeks the opinion of Smith on what steps he thinks can impact real change for future generations in our country.
Smith provides his insights as a man of color as he watched the video of George Floyd dying and his poignant social media post. Laaser and Smith also discuss how sports can help provide a platform to heal some of our nation's wounds and the conversations these tense times have already sparked among Tech's football coaches and student-athletes.
