A Conversation with Open MindsThe spark that started the fireIt all started August 26, 2016, when Colin Kaepernick sat down for the National Anthem at the preseason game for that season. The protest was for the ongoing police brutality against unarmed black people that always ended in death. Sept 11, 2016, Colin knelt for the anthem instead, after a conversation he had with Retired Army Green Beret Nate Boyer and the story went from there. This short is about that spark and the fire that's still burning to this day.2021-04-1505 min
