It’s time to hear out black voices on the racism afflicting the world. That means getting the word out – with the black community doing the talking.
A number of prominent black personalities in hockey were kind enough to share their thoughts this week regarding racism inside and outside the sport:
– David Amber, Hockey Night in Canada studio host
– Blake Bolden, PWHPA defenseman & the NHL’s first black female pro scout
– Grant Fuhr, Hall of Fame goaltender
– Kwame Mason, director of the documentary Soul on Ice and co-curator of the NHL’s Black Hockey History Tour
– Sarah Nurse, PWHPA forward
Here’s what they had to say.
