Legacy of Speed
I edited this six-part podcast hosted by Malcolm Gladwell for Pushkin Industries.
When two Black sprinters raised their fists in protest at the 1968 Olympic Games, it shook the world. More than 50 years later, the ripple effects of their activism are still felt. Legacy of Speed tells the story of the runners who took a stand, and the coaches and mentors who helped make them fast enough — and brave enough — to change the world.
