BBC Radio 1Xtra presenter Ace tells Newsround about the racism he's experienced

Following the death of George Floyd, BBC 1Xtra presenter Ace, alongside with Seani B, presented a two hour programme all about their experiences growing up as young black men in the UK.

He says the experiences of black people are very different in different parts of the country and also talks about being accused of 'looking scary' or of 'being in a gang' when he was just with his school friends.

He says if you are being treated badly or unfairly because of your colour or background because of racism, it's important to speak up and say something. De'Graft caught up with Ace to find out more and to see how we can all work together to stop racism.
