Sunday afternoon, University of Illinois tight-end and Carterville native Luke Ford posted a one minute, 45 second video to twitter calling for peace and support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
“For some reason, this is a controversial topic,” Ford says. “I just don’t understand how you can argue with the statement Black Lives Matter. This is like the bare minimum statement. The only thing below black lives Mattering is black people being alive.”
