Charlotte Protesters Inspired by Colin Kaepernick Take Knee in Demonstration
Demonstrations continued Thursday night in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and peaceful protesters followed the lead of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The Niners signal-caller has knelt during the singing of the national anthem since the preseason in an effort to bring awareness to police violence against African-Americans. As seen in this photo, courtesy of the New York Times' Richard Fausset, Kaepernick's influence was present on the streets of Charlotte on Thursday:
