This is a special episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape. This is a conversation with Kamal Carter and Kyle Williams. They are the founders and leaders of A Long Talk About the Uncomfortable Truth. These brothers travel across the country, leading a 21-day anti-racism activation experience designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to combat racism in their daily lives.

I saw their presentation earlier this year at the American Baseball Coaches Association Conference in Washington, DC. They presented to the Diversity Committee, chaired by Mizzou Baseball Coach Kerrick Jackson, and it was truly compelling. Kyle and Kamal have worked with numerous college teams to create an environment that begins with dialogue and culminates in greater unity.

I call this the Black Baseball Mixtapes' most important conversation EVER because it's bigger than baseball. I hope this conversation encourages you to seek future conversations, and if you're a coach at any level of any team. Seek out this program. It may change the culture of your team for the better.
