October is Black History Month, a time to recognise, celebrate and learn from the achievements, contributions and experiences of Black people in the UK and around the world.
We sat down with Max Kouogun to talk about what Black History Month means to him and why highlighting, celebrating and educating people matters, both in football and beyond.
The defender spoke candidly about the influence of his father, the importance of being a role model, the power of football to bring people together, and the courage to speak out against racism.
