England vs West Indies: Michael Holding on Black Lives Matter movement

Michael Holding cited the recent example that occurred in Central Park in the USA where a “white woman” called the cops on “black man” after she was asked to leash her dog as per the rules of the park. Michael Holding said that “if the society in which she was living did not empower her or get her to think that she had that power of being white and being able to call the police on a black man, she would not have done it”.

The former cricketer also said that there is a need for a society that represents and supports people from all different backgrounds. He talked about the importance of honest conversations, opportunities and “people in positions of power”. Michael Holding further spoke about American citizen George Floyd, whose death sparked the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, by saying that he “burst into tears” while watching his death on an Instagram video.
