Emmanuel Acho

Emmanuel Acho is a civil rights activist and a former professional football player. He is a sports commentator, as well as the web show Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, on which this book is partially based. Emmanuel originally grew up in a predominantly white area, and although he did not face any hostile forms of racism, he encountered numerous instances of ‘casual’ racism. During his college years and adulthood, he came into contact with more Black people, and his perspectives on the Black American experience widened. As an activist and communicator, Acho seeks to open channels for dialogue and education between people of all races. Acho’s main intended audience for this book is white people, whom he aims to educate on the subjects of racism and anti-racism.
