In this memoir, Colin Kaepernick shares his journey from a young boy growing up in Milwaukee to his time as a quarterback in the NFL, highlighting the challenges he faced along the way as a mixed-race child and his experiences with racism and injustice. Kaepernick also discusses his decision to kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest against police brutality and systemic oppression, and the backlash he faced as a result. The book is a powerful call to action for readers to stand up against injustice and fight for a more equitable society.
