Well, the acclaimed film director Ava DuVernay, who's behind projects including"The 13th,""When They See Us,"and "Selma,"
is now the force behind a powerful new series. It's called "Colin in Black & White,"available today on Netflix. And it tells the coming-of-age story of a young Colin Kaepernick, years before he became a quarterback in the NFL and a leader in the fight for racial justice. I sat down with DuVernay and the show's young star this week to discuss what the series teaches us about Kaepernick and what it reveals about us as a society for our arts and culture series, Canvas. Since the day I was born, my passion, my love was being in a quarterback. It's the story of a young Colin Kaepernick in his own words, the years before he went on to quarterback the University of Nevada team, before he led the San Francisco 49ers for six seasons, and before his historic sideline protests against racial injustice.
