About this listen

Michael shines the spotlight on the men and women who protested silently in his own sport of track and field. From Jesse Owens to Tommie Smith and John Carlos to Cathy Freeman. Together, Michael and Cathy reflect on a special night they shared at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

This episode contains references to historical racism and a reference to suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Most relevant

A deliberate and questioning treatment of how historical athletic figures have performed various forms of protests and defiance. Very well produced with fascinating and humbling stories. Michael Johnson’s interview style and delivery is perfect listening.

Thoughtful and inspiring
