Описание:
This graphic biography shows readers the moments that have defined Colin Kaepernick's life as a quarterback and an activist. His talent and determination made him a college football success and brought him to the National Football League. As a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, he led his team to multiple playoffs and even competed in the Super Bowl. When outrage over violence against African Americans became a national movement, Kaepernick joined the protests. His decision cost him his career in football, but he gained a voice heard worldwide.
This thought provoking and timely book entitled # Take A Knee, is an excellent collection of more than twenty academic essays, influenced by the political awakening of Colin Kaepernick, the former National Football League quarter back, who reignited the dormant tradition of Black athlete activism, when he refused to stand during the national anthem throughout the 2016 season.
Furthermore, this powerful compilation of essays, offer a range of dynamic perspectives which challenges academics, politicians, the media and the wider American public to honestly question if exercising ones first amendment right to freedom of speech and the right to protest, in the land of the brave and the free, is only acceptable if the method of protest excludes sitting, kneeling or raising a fist, during the playing of the national anthem, especially when the issues of concern revolve around racism and police brutality. This book concludes that Colin Kaepernick, like so many inspirational Black activist athletes in the past, he'll be vindicated, idolized and eventually considered a legend, and the subject of numerous academic books, films and documentaries, in years to come..

Описание:
The Hero in the Helmet is a biographical children's short-story, written in a third-person narrative, to educate both children and parents alike on the life and legacy of super-star athlete Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick or 'Kap' as he is affectionally called, was a gifted quarterback for the San-Francisco 49-ers who at the young age of twenty-five lead his team to the NFC championships on his first full season as a starter. His 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards, and one touchdown performance defeated the Atlanta Falcons, advancing them to super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans against the Baltimore Ravens. This was San Francisco's first super bowl appearance since 1994.
In 2016, Colin Kaepernick became a national figure when he silently took a knee during the singing of The National Anthem; a sign of protest against racial injustice. Kap's actions started a political movement that stirred up a variety of responses from anger, hatred, and opposition to compassion, respect and support. The NFL responded by keeping Kap as a free agent and has not made it to any roster since, despite his undeniable skill and athletic record.
Kaepernick changed platforms from football field to stages as he picked up public speaking to make clear that his decision for kneeling is and was not a sign of disrespect to the United States flag nor to military veterans, but a demonstration against racial injustice, systemic oppression, police brutality, and the lack of accountability for wrongful police murders in court against black and minority civilians.
Colin Kaepernick remains active in his work as a social advocate against racial inequality, and because of his unwavering leadership has been awarded The Len Eshmont Award (voted on by his teammates) who best exemplifies the inspirational and courageous play of Len Eshmont, Best Breakthrough Athlete, Eason Monroe Courageous Advocate Award, The Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Selfless Award, and The GQ Citizen of the Year Award. In addition, he has pledged one million dollars of his own money to empower oppressed communities.

Описание: Four people from very diverse backgrounds, upbringings and experiences happened to forge unique friendships that would enable them to discuss, dissect and build around topics of importance and value. During this time the climate was changing and moving at a fast pace due to a new emerging narrative on race and racism within the United States of America. Race had been a subject these four friends had discussed on many levels and it was from such a conversation that the idea of a book came: a book that would explore the complexities of race, culture, music, racism, white privilege, mass incarceration/modern day slavery and the actions of people such as Colin Kaepernick, who had been hailed a hero by some and vilified by others. In this book we explore how racism has played a huge part in the lives of black people for hundreds of years and how, sadly, the development of a nation has not produced an environment or mentality healthy enough for the eradication of the oppression of people of color.

Описание: In her exciting new book, Marisol LeBr n traces the rise of punitive governance in Puerto Rico over the course of the twentieth century and up to the present. Punitive governance emerged as a way for the Puerto Rican state to manage the deep and ongoing crises stemming from the archipelago's incorporation into the United States as a colonial territory. A structuring component of everyday life for many Puerto Ricans, police power has reinforced social inequality and worsened conditions of vulnerability in marginalized communities.
This book provides powerful examples of how Puerto Ricans negotiate and resist their subjection to increased levels of segregation, criminalization, discrimination, and harm. Policing Life and Death shows how Puerto Ricans are actively rejecting punitive solutions and working toward alternative understandings of safety and a more just future.
