Screenshot of a PowerPoint slide from former NBA and NCAA Division 1 college basketball coach Michael Brunker’s keynote speech to Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency government and contractor employees across the nation via Adobe Connect about the impact on civil rights by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson.
