This new Programme is a unique production paying tribute to some of the greatest names and most influential figures in Black Sporting History. In this new Programme we see through the lens of spoken word performance poetry, creating a ground-breaking, inspirational, and celebratory event to mark Black History Month.

Spoken word pieces will be performed to an audience celebrating and honouring an inspirational collection of black sporting legends.
