He wanted to make a statement about the oppression of people of color in the United States after he had spent a summer speaking out against police brutality. After playing professional football for six seasons, that would become Colin Kaepernick's last season in the NFL, but he would go on to become one of the most prominent activists of today. Colin believed that speaking out against racism was far bigger than football, and other athletes agreed with him. Today, hundreds of athletes -- from high schools to professional teams -- still kneel during the national anthem to protest the treatment of people of color in America. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscover more about Colin Kaepernick's story in this addition to the \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 62 (EAN 9780593519417, Library Binding)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilson, Lakita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022-05-03\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Juvenile Nonfiction|Biography \u0026amp; Autobiography|Social Activists|Juvenile Nonfiction|Biography \u0026amp; Autobiography|Sports \u0026amp; Recreation|Juvenile Nonfiction|African American \u0026amp; Black|General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaepernick, Colin|Football players|African American football players|Political activists|Racism in sports|African Americans|Biographies|United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593519417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780593519417\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52148335083801,"sku":"SP-9780593519417","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780593519417_spiral.png?v=1774230158","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/who-is-colin-kaepernick","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
