Girl, 12, 'nearly Banned' From Swim Meet For Wearing Black Lives Matter Swimsuit by Posila415(m): 1:57pm On Feb 09, 2022 |
A young swimmer was temporarily suspended from competing in a school swim meet for wearing a Black Lives Matter costume. Leidy Lyons, 12, wanted to show her support for the movement in Duluth, Minnesota, US. She created her own swimsuit and planned to display the anti racism message, According to NAACP president Classie Dudley, the girl made the swimsuit after hearing about the shooting of Amir Locke by Minneapolis police last week. But an official tried to disqualify Leidy, and the saga rumbled on four hours as they changed their reason for the ban to logo size, rather than a political stance.
