The past ten days haven’t surprised Steve Zakuani.
Not the killing of George Floyd. Not the fractured media response. Not the brands and major corporations rushing to issue statements.
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo before moving to London with his family as a child, Zakuani spoke with The Athletic about his experiences with racism, and what it’s like to be black in America.
“If we had this conversation five years ago, I would have told you that I’ve experienced racism only twice in my life,” Zakuani told Matt Pentz of The Athletic.
