These include some of the most famous Black British Olympians such as Daley Thompson, young up and coming heroes like Louis Smith, and Paralympians such as Ade Adepitan and Alexandra Rickham.The book shows how Britain’s young people are inspired by our nation’s Black Olympic Heritage. It contributes to Manchester’s celebration of the London Olympic Games.
