A history of the activism and achievement of African American athletes from Jesse Owens to Serena Williams to Colin Kaepernick, who advanced the cause of social justice through their outspokenness, commitment, and integrity.
Muhammad Ali refused to fight in a war he believed was immoral. Wilma Rudolph retired from track and field to campaign for civil rights. Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to draw attention to the oppression of black bodies. Taking a Knee, Taking a Stand tells their stories and the stories of other prominent African American male and female athletes who often risked their careers to fight racial discrimination and promote social justice.
From Jackie Robinson breaking the color line in major league baseball to NBA great Bill Russell sitting at the feet of Dr. Martin Luther King at the 1963 March on Washington to Althea Gibson asserting her tennis dominance at a time when many clubs would not allow African Americans to play on their courts, this moving and celebratory history shows how the tradition of black protest in sports has been consistent, necessary, and organic, and that the present crisis of misunderstanding and intolerance demands that this tradition continue as the country struggles toward fairness and equity.

It’s not the 60s anymore. Black athletes are now worshipped. Some people will constantly manufacture something to complain about.

LOL!!!! White men are so predictable and hilarious! It’s amazing how controlled and brainwashed most white men are into giving the reactions they’ve been trained to give, right on cue!!
But of course, they’re the strong, tough and independent-minded people, who don’t complain and don’t make excuses…. LOL!!

I still say they should kick out all these American hating traitors. let them live in Nigeria or Somalia, I’m sure they will love it there. These people are the ones keeping racism alive. In all my life I have never seen one incidence of racism towards blacks, but plenty the other way.

Just play the f-ing game and shut up. The playing field is your workplace, not your soapbox. We don’t care about your politics. What you do on your own time is your business.
