2020 Vision with Harvard Basketball Coach Tommy Amaker


Join Tommy Amaker, Harvard men’s basketball coach, and HBS Senior Lecturer Henry McGee, in a moderated discussion about Amaker’s vision of using this generation-defining moment to work towards defeating racism and systemic inequality.

“We have seen the reality that race is still very much a factor in American life, and that communities of color disproportionately suffer socially, politically, and economically. We have seen our nation struggle in the face of a global pandemic. We have seen a lack of compassionate leadership accelerate so many of these problems. None of this is breaking news. We have known about it. But now, we have all seen it — with ‘2020 vision.’” – 2020 Vision, Tommy Amaker
