LA JOLLA, Calif. – Several UC San Diego scholar-athletes produced a video for social media demanding change and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. The video was directed by Marissa Ray of the women's soccer team, and resulted from a town hall discussion with UC San Diego scholar-athletes last week.
