Pauline Jackson, Water Johnson, Willis Hanks, Charles Chapman, these are but a few of the accomplished marathon swimmers in the Black community, Though they are not as well known as their White counterparts such as Lynne Cox or Trudy Ederle, they were just as successful.

Richards, became the second person of African descent to cross the English Channel, and today he'll join us to talk about his successful swim, challenges of making it happen, and his hopes for other people of color to become marathon swimmers.
