Coffee and Conversation: Colin Kaepernick and the Nuances of Protest
- Starts: 3:00 pm on Friday, September 9, 2016
- Ends: 5:00 pm on Friday, September 9, 2016
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has caused quite a stir by refusing to stand for the national anthem during NFL games. Kaepernick is using the gesture as a way to protest what he views as unfair treatment by police toward minority communities.
What do you make of Kaepernick's protest method? Is he unpatriotic for sitting during the Anthem? Is protest supposed to stay within certain boundaries? These and many other questions will be discussed at the first Coffee and Conversation.
