We are about change. If you can’t support us here. I ask you Please don’t support us on the court. #mubb #BlackLivesMatter

Link has a local news interview with Sacar. Both of them were at the protest where the semi truck attempted to plow through the crowd. Scary stuff. Appreciate both of their words on the topic. They are fantastic representatives for MU both on and off the court.

Thanks for sharing this TAMU. 

These young men are excellent representatives of Marquette University and the values of social justice that the University espouses.  I support my alma mater because it is my alma mater, but I love my University because of what it stands for.

TAMU can speak to my personal transformation in issues of social justice as a MU undergrad, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.  If you are a Marquette alum and can't see your way to support Sacar and Theo and all of the others fighting for justice...then I really wonder what you learned while you were there.

Couldn't have said it better.

Great principle to stand up for.  Stay safe, young men.

Juan Anderson organized an entire march in Oakland this week.  Also very impressed with this young man representation of our University as an Alum.

Really glad to see them standing up for what is right and also love Marquette joining the movement to give the program a day off on Election Day. These guys are certainly easy to cheer for.
