The NAACP has issued a significant call for Black athletes and fans to boycott public university athletic programs in states that the nation's oldest civil rights organization asserts are restricting Black voting rights.
Launched on Tuesday, the "Out of Bounds" campaign specifically urges prospective Black athletes, their families, alumni, and supporters to "withhold athletic and financial support" from major public universities located in states that "have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation."
