Activist and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will soon take his place in history thanks to a sociologist named Harry Edwards, according to USA Today.
Edwards is lending a hand with the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture's "game-changers exhibit" which will focus on the impact that famed sports figures make in civil discourse around race issues.
One such subject, as Edwards and the museum director Lonnie Bunch decided, would be Colin Kaepernick. Late last year, around the time the museum opened, Edwards donated some Kaepernick memorabilia to the museum to display.
