Kenny Goins is known most famously for hitting a game-winning shot against Duke in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, sending his team to the Final Four. Now, Goins is giving voice to a righteous cause that goes far beyond basketball.
Last night, there was a gathering at The Rock on Michigan State’s campus for a candlelight vigil. Goins not only attended the vigil but also spoke to the crowd.
Here is a piece of what Goins said, per Kyle Austin of MLive:
“Change doesn’t happen overnight,” Goins said. “It might not even happen in one lifetime, as many people know. But change happens every single day, and it’s because of people like us.”

The vigil last night was organized by the Michigan State University National Pan-Hellenic Council. Right before this vigil, MSU coaches gathered with athletic department members to paint The Rock with the “Black Lives Matter” phrase along with “RIP George Floyd”.
