Future Black History Month: Colin Kaepernick's Powerful Defiance
Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. Today we are honoring Colin Kaepernick, who fearlessly uses his celebrity platform to shed light on this country's race issues.
The 29-year-old first made a name for himself in the football world when he was chosen by the San Francisco 49ers during the second round of the 2011 NFL draft. He is the team's starting quarterback and entered the playoffs in in 2012 and 2013. But Kaepernick proved to be much more than his football skills, and made his voice as part of the proud black community heard loud and clear.
