Challenging Racism at UF

from The SPOHP Podcast Hosted by SPOHP

This episode will examine how the University of Florida has challenged racism. The goal of this podcast series is to bring awareness to UF’s History and shine a light on the legacy of exclusion and racism on and around UF campus. This episode discusses the hatred of the Ku Klux Klan and the kidnapping and mutilation of Catholic priest Father John Connelly, and lastly, the Florida vs Boston College Football Game, where star running-back Lou Montgomery was forcefully benched. It is our hope that this podcast series will help amplify the often-ignored stories of minority communities at UF, in Florida, and across the nation.
