Dr. Saida Grundy’s article in the Atlantic
Dr. Saida Grundy has written an article for The Atlantic exploring the impact of the Colin Kaepernick/Nike ad partnership. See excerpt and link below:

It’s important to consider the high costs of assisting a corporation in peddling a social struggle, as Davis forewarned that historical revolutions could be reduced to trends. When so goes the fashion, there goes the movement.
