26 Feb 2020
This week, to send off Black History Month in style, we are re-releasing an interview each day highlighting a Black person we’ve had on Burn It All Down in the past whose words and actions still resonate with us all. In May 2018, Amira talked to Wyomia Tyus, a two-time olympian, track legend, and author. They talk about Tyus’ experiences playing sports in the Jim Crow South, the 1968 Olympics, and athletic protest. They also discuss Tyus’ memoir, Tigerbelle: The Wyomia Tyus Story.
