Pitt gymnastics team to wear Black Lives Matter uniforms at upcoming meet

PITTSBURGH — The University of Pittsburgh gymnastics team will debut Black Lives Matter uniforms at Sunday’s meet against Temple.

Coaches and staff will wear black t-shirts that say Black Lives Matter.

The uniforms and t-shirts are part of the Pitt athletic department’s Until We Unite initiative which aims to promote an environment of inclusion for student-athletes, coaches and staff through education, dialogue and the celebration of differences, according to the team’s website.

The gymnastics program is also involved in a social media campaign that includes a team PSA and highlights local organizations that support the Black community.
