A Voice for Student Advocacy

In honor of Black History Month, NATA is highlighting some of our Black leaders at the state, district and national levels and shares insight into their volunteer journeys. 
 
Helping people has always been a passion for NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee student liaison Larry Gipson II.

Gipson said his “freak accident” while playing football in high school, during which he fractured his femur head and dislocated his hip, fueled his love for athletic training – a profession practiced by ATs, whose passion to return him to his sport inspired him.
