Episode: Racism in swimming? My question to Howard University swim coach
Description: In my upcoming book (July), "Lies About Black People: how to combat racist stereotypes and why it matters" I have a chapter focused on the racism Black people faced over just wanting to use local swimming pools. I spoke on "Roland Martin Unfiltered" with Howard University Swim Team coach Nicholas Askew about this issue.
