On this week鈥檚 Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma, West Indies great Michael Holding discusses his powerful speech about racial injustice which went viral last year.
He speaks about his own experiences of racism, reacts to the social media abuse aimed at some of England鈥檚 footballers at the European Championships this week and discusses his new book 'Why We Kneel, How We Rise,' and whether it鈥檚 easier now for sports men and women to use their platform for change.
