It was an electrifying moment. In the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the #BlackLivesMatter protests that followed, a rain delay during a Test match gave Michael Holding the opportunity to speak live on Sky Sports. For the first time he spoke about racism - about the racism he has suffered and that he has seen all around him his whole life. Within minutes he started receiving calls from sports stars all over the world, offering to help him spread his message further.

Now, in Why We Kneel, How We Rise Holding shares his story together with those of some of the most iconic athletes in the world, including Usain Bolt, Adam Goodes, Thierry Henry, Michael Johnson, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Makhaya Ntini, Naomi Osaka and Hope Powell.

To understand the racism of today, Holding explores history - the uncomfortable and unedited history that has been ignored for far too long. he tells the stories left untold about accomplishments of Black people throughout history and emphasises the importance of education as a tool to achieve equality. Through his conversations with sporting legends, Holding explains how racism dehumanises people and how it feels to be treated differently due to the colour of your skin.

In turns inspiring and devastating, enlightening and shocking, Why We Kneel, How We Rise is a powerful, poignant and personal exploration of racism, with a message of hope for real change. By learning together, we can rise together.
