Taking the Knee and Yorkshire’s supermarkets

Yorkshirecast

Available for over a year

Sol B River is a Leeds-born writer and TV producer. His recent documentary about the first black university student in 1960s Mississippi won plaudits around the world. In a week which has seen such focus on football and racism, we asked Sol - a big football fan - to give us his view - of 'taking the knee,' the racism faced by players and the changes he wants politicians to make. And Business Analyst Danni Hewson joins Gemma and James to talk about Yorkshire’s proud supermarket heritage. It comes after potential talks of a takeover for Bradford family owned Morrisons.
