Jonathan Jones of Sports Illustrated spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day with Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton as he spoke at an event in Charlotte held through his foundation called the Un1ted As 1 program.
Below is just a small sample of Jones’ work, and I strongly recommend that you take 10-15 minutes to read the whole thing because it’s absolutely worth it.
This program is the brainchild of Cam Newton, whose foundation has been working for more than a year to make this pilot program. Newton, at first understated as the wave of social activism took hold of the NFL, has been finding his voice and looking for ways to impact his communities in the past year and a half.
