In 2016, he took a knee during \u201cThe Star Spangled Banner\u201d to bring attention to systemic oppressions against Black and Brown people, and quickly became known as one of America&#8217;s foremost civil rights activists. As an NFL player, Colin led the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII and is the holder of the all-time NFL record for most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback. He has been awarded a number of prestigious honors, including Amnesty International\u2019s Ambassador of Conscience Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope honor, GQ magazine\u2019s \u201cCitizen of the Year,\u201d the NFL\u2019s Len Eshmont Award, the Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, the ACLU\u2019s Eason Monroe Courageous Advocate Award, and the Puffin\/Nation Institute\u2019s Prize for Creative Citizenship. Since 2016, he has founded and helped to fund three organizations \u2014 Know Your Rights Camp, Kaepernick Media, and Kaepernick Publishing \u2014 that together advance the liberation of Black and Brown people through storytelling, systems change, and political education. In 2019, Kaepernick helped Nike win an Emmy for its \u201cDream Crazy&#8221; commercial. In 2021, Colin released Colin in Black &amp; White, a six-episode limited series on Netflix exploring his high school years, which won two NAACP Image Awards.
