COLIN KAEPERNICK CONTINUES TO SPARK NATIONAL CONVERSATION

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick opened the door for a national conversation this year as he took a knee during the National Anthem in support of the rights of people of color and in protest against police brutality. Beyond the field, 30-year-old Kaepernick has been dedicated to philanthropy, pledging to raise $1 million for different charitable foundations and announcing the creation of his own youth empowerment camp.
