Steph Curry honoring Black Lives Matter with his custom shoes at Lake Tahoe

LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - If you've been able to catch the coverage of the 31st American Century Championship from Lake Tahoe you may have seen the shoes Steph Curry has been wearing.

On Friday, his shoes showed an image of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old African-American emergency medical technician who was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers on March 13, 2020.

Curry, who has been outspoken and active with social injustice matters, said the shoes were to "shine a light on Breonna Taylor, demanding and praying and

The Golden State Warriors star said he wants to use his platform and the tournament to raise awareness and continue the conversation.

"We all have roles to play in terms of changing the racial climate in our country," said Curry on Friday. "This is definitely more than just a moment that we're feeling."

He is donating the shoes to the Black Lives Matter organization so they can auction them off and make some money for the "amazing work that they're doing."

A day after honoring Breonna Taylor on the golf course, Stephen continued his fight for social justice by wearing a pair of “Black Lives Matter” shoes. He wore them again during the final round.

Curry will join other golfers from the celebrity tournament on Race and Sports in America: Conversations, a wide-ranging roundtable discussion special that airs Monday, July 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET on the GOLF Channel, NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), NBC Sports Regional Networks and the Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA.

“We have to continue to double down and keep people accountable in all walks of life, all industries, all forms of leadership, the judicial system. And hopefully for my kids’ generation, their kids, we will see change," said Curry.

“This crap started 400 years ago. We can’t do anything about that. We can’t do anything about systematic racism. What I challenge every Black person, every White person to do: What can I do today going forward? And you have to tell yourself, ‘I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.’ Because if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem,” added NBA analyst Charles Barkley.

Hosted by Damon Hack (GOLF Channel / NBC Sports), and filmed Thursday at the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, the primetime special will focus on topics ranging from social justice, locker room conversations about race, and ways that sports can help combat inequality. Additional subjects will include the relationship between athletes and law enforcement, reaction to George Floyd’s death and reflections on personal experiences in the weeks since, and thoughts on what the conversations should be a year from now.

Additional athletes joining Curry and Barkley on Race & Sports in America include:
• James Blake – 10-time ATP tennis champion
• Troy Mullins – World Long Drive competitor
• Anthony Lynn – Los Angeles Chargers Head Coach
• Jimmy Rollins – World Series champion Shortstop
• Kyle Rudolph – Minnesota Vikings Tight End
