Townsend inspires students to speak up against abuse

As part of Black History Month, Everton winger Andros Townsend spoke about his heroes and the campaign for equality to schoolchildren across Merseyside.

Six schools involved in the Premier League Inspires programme run by Everton in the Community (EitC) were invited to a virtual event to celebrate black heritage and raise awareness of how communities can create a better and more inclusive society.

Townsend took questions from more than 100 pupils from Years 9 and 10 on subjects such as the importance of Black History Month and the impact of Premier League players taking the knee.
