The award-winning series, Voices, from FOX Sports that features diverse sports stories that impact community and culture will be returning to the air with a new episode on FOX this Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. EST. Hosted by FOX NFL reporter Kristina Pink, the presentation will honor legacies within sports that have paved the way for future generations, including Jackie Robinson, Reggie Jackson, Madison Hammond, Caitlin Clark and Camryn Bynum.

Ahead of Jackie Robinson Day on Monday, April 15, FOX Sports is commemorating the 77th anniversary of his MLB debut that broke the color barrier. Former Major League Baseball pitcher and two-time Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia will make a special appearance with an essay tribute to Robinson within the episode.

Additionally, the show will provide a profile on Reggie Jackson’s Mr. October Foundation, which is focused on providing access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education for underserved youth in several communities. Aside from its work in New York City, Detroit, Oakland and St. Louis, the organization also cultivates pathways of employment.

Voices will highlight Angel City FC defender Madison Hammond, who is the first Native American to play in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). Throughout the segment, it aims to display the historic representation and how she is a role model to aspiring indigenous female athletes around the world. Iowa Hawkeyes point guard and NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader Caitlin Clark will be highlighted through a vignette as well. The presentation will include her run to the national championship and her greater effect on women’s sports.

Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum and the work he performs through the Bynum Faith Foundation in the Philippines will also be promulgated. The organization brings awareness regarding community hardships and provides long-term support and disaster relief with the goal of restoring hope, faith and love to underserved communities both in the Philippines and in the United States. Bynum recently introduced Camp Beezy, a program that makes the sport of American football accessible to young athletes in the Philippines, and will be part of the episode as well.

Voices will also feature a look into the history and culture of marching bands at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). This part of the show features interviews with band leaders from Tennessee State University and Virginia State University, along with performances from both schools. Moreover, Florida A&M University (FAMU), Southern University, Alabama State University, Norfolk State University, Jackson State University, Langston University, Texas Southern University and Morgan State University will be included in the performances.
