The Texas State athletics department, made up of student-athletes, coaches and administrators, marched with local San Marcos law enforcement from the J.C. Kellam Administration Building to Bobcat Stadium in a show of solidarity on Wednesday.
The march began at 6 p.m. and was approximately 1.5 miles long. After arriving at Bobcat Stadium, redshirt senior linebacker Gavin Graham and many officers addressed the crowd.
“Today we marched in unity with some people that many of us are terrified of,” Graham said. “Because today is a day of change, I encourage you after this event is over to take time to speak with the men and women of law enforcement that joined us today in seeking true change … Today we march in unity as we fight for justice and equality for all, with heavy hearts of those whose lives have been stripped away from them way too soon, from George Floyd to Breonna Taylor to Ahmaud Arbery.”
