Utah Athletic's Podcasts

Rev. France Davis has worked with the Utah football team since the early 2000s, is an emeritus adjunct professor at the University of Utah, and was the pastor for Calvary Baptist Church for 46 years before retiring last December. Since moving to Salt Lake City in the early 1970s, Davis has fought numerous battles on behalf of Utah’s black community. Part of our conversation with Rev. Davis will be about his time at the U, the other portion will center on his life experiences, which have provided him with unparalleled perspective on the issues caused by social injustice and racial inequality. He also offers great insight on what people can do to be a positive influence during these challenging times.
