Details
The National Civil Rights Museum presents an intimate conversation with Colin Kaepernick exploring the enduring relationship between sports, protest, and the pursuit of justice.
Drawing from his new book, The Perilous Fight, Kaepernick will reflect on his personal journey and the broader history of Black athletes who have used their platforms to challenge injustice, confront systems of power, and advance social change. Blending personal reflection with the legacy of athlete activism, the conversation will examine the choices, sacrifices, and consequences that can come with taking a public stand.
Set against the historic backdrop of the National Civil Rights Museum, this powerful program invites audiences to consider the evolving role of athletes as activists—and the risks, responsibilities, and possibilities that come with using one’s voice and influence in the fight for justice.
