Sinopsis

Colin Kaepernick & LeBron James have been leading the way in revolutionary sports figures. In 2015, LeBron James initiated a scholarship fund for children of his hometown Akron pledging to give them a four year scholarship to the University of Akron. He also lead other NBA stars in a speech to open the ESPYs, inspiring other athletes to take action. This season in the NFL, Colin Kaepernick has been leading a silent protest to draw attention to police brutality. But, he's also been hosting a "Know Your Rights" camp for inner-city youth. Of course there are other engaged athletes, but these two are the headliners in my opinion. In this episode of Blacks with Power, I talk with Mike Tillery - Public Enemy #1 of the sports media world, who airs his show every Saturday night on Rapstation.com (yea, Chuck D's online network...you know...Public Enemy's Chuck D) He shares his stories from the field - the conversations he's had with your favorite competitors, and how these Ballers can empower the community.
