The Gazette's Leah Vann closes out a three-part podcast series on Black history in University of Iowa athletics with more of a look into the future.

What can we do to encourage more education on Black history? How do we move forward in discussing race?

The guests on this episode, Hawkeye football alumni Quinn Early and Broderick Binns, help answer those questions.

Early is working on producing a documentary about Frank 'Kinney' Holbrook, one of the pioneers discussed in the first episode of this series. He talks about how he got involved in the project and his future plans.

Binns is the Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for UI Athletics. In the podcast, he discusses Iowa's Black history and the work being done on inclusion.
