Colin Kaepernick, the protester of the original NFL anthem and famous Nike publicist, will receive an honorary degree from Morgan State University.
The university announced Wednesday that Kaepernick will receive an honorary degree alongside filmmaker David E. Talbert and educational justice advocate David Burton.
Morgan State University President David Wilson released a statement honoring the three recipients.
Leadership, Integrity, Innovation, Diversity, Excellence and Respect are more than just words that appear on flags that highlight our campus or that we randomly say when listing our core values, they are the essence of Kim Tayo. And what is Morgan? graduate advocates.
With this in mind, we consciously sought out a group of people who truly held these principles, and luckily we brought together three different voices who stood up and kneeled with courage in the name of encouragement and advancement. , and the unfortunate. no power.
We are pleased to award David E. Talbert, David Burton and Colin Kaepernick Honorary Degrees for their individual and collective contributions to Black storytelling and excellence.
Kaepernick, who recently inspired a series on Netflix as well as releasing a children’s book, will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.

But it’s odd that Kaepernick wanted to return to the league, as he compared the NFL’s talent selection process to a 19th century slave auction.
Colin Kaepernick likens the unified NFL, which gives players of all races the opportunity to become multimillionaires, to slavery. Anyone still defending this idiot doesn’t have a functional brain. pic.twitter.com/rMaKi7c6xh
