Colin Kaepernick is continuing his mission to educate and empower the youth. The 29-year-old athlete/activist took his Know Your Rights camp to Chicago’s DuSable Museum of African American History Saturday (May 6).
Common, Keri Hilson hit up the Windy City installment of Kaepernick’s free campaign, which is aimed at raising awareness on “higher education, self empowerment, and instructions to properly interact with law enforcement in various scenarios.”
The daylong event in Chicago featured guest speakers and a history challenge. Kaerpernick also gave the kids DNA kits from Ancestry.com.
