As a bowler for the West Indies, Michael Holding was well known
for his measured run up and devastating fast bowling, an approach
he has taken into his punditry where he is always calm and
controlled but also frank and honest with his opinions. So when
rain delayed the start of play and conversation was steered to
the impact of racism in cricket in the wake of the murder of
George Floyd, Holding spoke with a clarity which forced everyone
watching and those who caught up later to take notice of his
words. A year on, the conversation he started has become a book,
including the conversations he's had with other sporting icons,
and another view of history that shows how important education is
in eradicating racism and improving equality for all. In this
episode we find out from those involved why this book is so
important and their hopes for what it might achieve.

Featuring: Michael Holding, Ed Hawkins, Ian Marshall, Samar Habib
