- Sunny Hostin backs NAACP call for Black athletes to boycott public universities over redistricting
Sunny Hostin voiced support for the NAACP's 'Out of Bounds' campaign calling for Black athletes and families to boycott public universities in states weakening Black representation through redistricting.
