On April 7th, Colin Kaepernick is dropping his memoir called The Parallelist Fight on September 15th, exactly 10 years after he first took a knee. During the National Anthem, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, turned activist hasn't played in the NFL since 2016, and this book aims to lay out. The full story behind that protest against police violence and racial inequality, he started by sitting during the anthem before switching to kneeling, and now Legacy Lit is calling it equal parts memoir and manifesto, detailing how. One act sparked a movement that reshaped sports and culture across America. The protest drew players who followed his lead, but it also sparked backlash from politicians, team owners, and fans, some booed him on the field, and even burned his jerseys and anger. Kaepernick played six seasons with the 49ers, leading them to the Super Bowl in 2013, where they fell to Baltimore 34 to 31. Since then, he stayed vocal on social issues, launched his own publishing imprint,
and put out books like The Picture Story, We Are Free, You and Me, plus the graphic novel, Change the Game. At 38, he's still pushing the conversation forward with this release, giving us deeper insight into the fight that keeps echoing today.
