Zed Key got an in-person history lesson as an Ohio State representative on a Big Ten civil rights trip to Alabama.
Key said he was approached by Ohio State director of professional development Terence Dials about participating and that he agreed without knowing all the details about the upcoming journey. That led him to do some research.
“I didn’t know how in-depth it was going to be, so once I went down there and saw how detailed they went and how much stuff they had lined up for us I was like, ‘Oh wow,’ ” Key said. “This trip was so great because it was hands-on. We got to listen to speakers actually at the march down in Selma. We also got to go to some of the museums and see a whole bunch of different landmarks down there.
“I knew a little bit about , but the textbooks don’t do it justice,” Key said. “The education system doesn’t do it justice. It doesn’t explain everything in detail. It doesn’t explain half the stuff that I saw or that they went through marching back then with the beatings by the police and the stuff that they went through.”
The trip gave Key a greater appreciation for what it took for him to be able to play college basketball.
