death of george floyd. the murder of a black man at the hands of a white police officer which sparked protests, notjust in america, but around the world. it bolstered the black lives matter movement and saw athletes join in taking a knee to highlight racism in sport. miriam walker khanjoins us now. thank you for speaking to us. a year on, how much do you feel momentum has grown across the sporting world on the issue of racism? there is a long way to go but i think momentum has grown and raised a lot of people can't even imagine a year ago so obviously it will start at the process last summer and athletes were taking in every squad we started again after lockdown and there were some athletes a majority white sports as well as the really persistent in their protesting lake lewis hamilton, the only black driver and naomi 0saka lewis hamilton, the only black driver and naomi osaka and dear member bearing the names of victims of police —— brutality and of course in the premier league players were still taking a knee until the end of the season and that will happen at
