Black British Lives Matter
Essay: Why Black British Athletes Matter
In response to the international outcry at George Floyd’s death, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder commissioned a collection of essays to discuss how and why we need to fight for Black lives to matter – not just for Black people but for society as a whole.
Recognising Black British experience within the Black Lives Matter movement, seventeen prominent Black figures explain why Black lives should be celebrated when too often they are undervalued. Drawing from personal experience, they stress how Black British people have unique perspectives and experiences that enrich British society and the world; how Black lives are far more interesting and important than the forces that try to limit it.
Michelle Moore’s essay, Why Black British Athletes Matter, highlights the importance of sport to British society, and the central role Black people play. Any collection of essays that examines the importance of Black British lives without looking at the Black athlete would have been incomplete. The book includes essays from Sir David Adjaye, Doreen Lawrence, Kehinde Andrews, Derek Bardowell, Dawn Butler and David Olusoga.
