This weekend, a figure ice skating team from Howard University will make history as the first team from an HBCU to take part in an intercollegiate competition.
New Yorker Cheyenne Walker is one of the two founders of the club. She learned the skill through Figure Skating in Harlem, an organization dedicated to helping girls of color learn to skate.
Sharon Cohen is the founder of Figure Skating in Harlem. She joined WNYC Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about watching Cheyenne and her team this weekend.
