Product Information

Whilst understanding the level of discrimination suffered by people of colour I was disappointed that there seemed to be very little balance.

Things may feel dire now, but it’s important to remember change doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not linear. Michael Holding, former West Indies fast bowler and current cricket commentator on Sky, drew widespread praise for his 2020 comments on the BLM movement.He happily uses and explains his understanding of the word “woke” and the phrases “cultural appropriation” and “white privilege”, and I’m so glad he does this.

It also carries discussions with other sports stars about their struggles, achievements and activism, including Usain Bolt, another Jamaican; Naomi Osaka, tennis player who walked into the US Open wearing covid masks bearing the names of African-Americans killed by police; and many others who contacted him in response to his video comments. MH tackles this in the last third of the book and poignantly states his hopes for a truly level playing field MAY come to fruition when his granddaughter is his age. Well i am a White Irish man and i know how privileged i am, and cannot understand how the Black population has been treated this badly.They have inspired so many heroes of the present day and in their stories and experiences we can learn how more of us can rise.
