At 78 years old, Lorenzo Coleman has witnessed so many iconic moments in not only sports history, but U.S. history. My self-adopted grandfather joins me to discuss how the WNBA and NBA players decided to boycott their games after the recent shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Wisconsin police and the death of two protestors by a white supremacist. He also shares where he was when found out about the deaths of President John F.
