Published on: 05 June 2020

Ghana and Chicago forward C.J Sapong has joined a host of celebrities in the fight against racism in America.

Sarpong, speaking an interview, revealed his personal experiences with racism and has called on people of colour to take action against inequality.

This comes as activists across the world have been calling for 'justice' over the death of Floyd, who had a knee pressed into his neck for more than eight minutes while being detained by a white police officer, and eventually died at the scene in Minneapolis on Monday.

Protestors have marched in the streets of major cities across the world, including London, Manchester and Cardiff, calling for justice over Floyd's death at the hands of police brutality.

Police officer Derek Chauvin, 44, has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after the death of Mr Floyd who begged for air while being arrested. 

In an Instagram chat with former teammate and current Colorado Rapids forward Kei Kamara, the duo discussed a wide range of issues on being black in America.
