Summary:

"On August 14, 2016, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a protest when he refused to stand for the national anthem. 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"-- Provided by publisher.

BookList Review

Who Is Colin Kaepernick?

Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

The Who Was series began with four biographies published in 2002. Now part of the Who HQ series (6 new titles) (including What Was? and other subsets), it's still going strong. These recent volumes present a variety of topics, but they share the same kid-friendly look, with quirky, inviting cover art, wide-spaced lines of text, and attractive, black-and-white line drawings. The nonfiction narrative is simply written, straightforward, and well paced, while illustrated sidebars fill in relevant historical information. Who Is Colin Kaepernick? tells of an adopted child who became an NFL quarterback; it then clarifies why he knelt during the National Anthem and tells how his symbolic action challenged others. Highly popular with young readers, this informative series takes on some challenging topics and presents them in a responsible, very readable way.
