About Why we kneel, how we rise by Michael Holding

Starting from the catalyst of Holding speaking out about the racism he has seen and suffered through his career during a rained-off cricket game. This book explores what it is like to be treated differently due to the colour of your skin through the lens of sport, and the hope for future change. It contains conversations with sports icons including Usain Bolt, Naomi Osaka and Thierry Henry.
