Why We Kneel
Bendigo Writers Festival
Rain delay. Commentators chatting. Someone asks cricketing great Michael Holding about the #BlackLivesMatter protests. And he starts talking: about the racism he was subjected to throughout his life, about how it’s been ignored for so long, and about why now is the time to find a way forward. Immediately, a host of sporting celebrities are there, ready to share, ready to help spread the message. Michael Holding talks to Gideon Haigh about that moment, and what happened next to lead to his award-winning book, Why We Kneel, How We Rise.
Some sessions in the Bendigo Bank Theatre will also stream live online: details announced soon!
Tickets $20 full / $16 concession or multi-buy.
Sunday, 15 May 2022, 10:30 am–11:30 am
