Colin Kaepernick Reveals His Five Contemporary Book Recommendations

Colin Kaepernick came into the spotlight first as a star quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, then as a civil rights activist. Now, he’s also the author of a wonderful children’s book called I Color Myself Different.

The World Belonged to Us 

The World Belonged to Us is a great summertime read. The lyrical text and beautiful illustrations take readers on a journey through the freedom of summer, the playfulness of the childhood imagination, and the irrepressible urge to dream big.

No More Police: A Case For Abolition

No More Police is a book for our times. Written by key figures in the modern prison industrial complex (PIC) abolitionist movement, Mariame Kaba and Andrea J. Ritchie together argue that policing doesn’t stop violence. We must, therefore, reject systems that don’t support our people.

Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment

Here’s a book everyone should read…especially now. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz peels back the true settler colonial and anti-Black origins of the Second Amendment and helps to connect the historical dots among colonialism, slavery, U.S. gun culture, and modern-day policing.

Dreamers

Packed with rich illustrations and an inspiring message, Dreamers is about the power of dreams, the power of love, and the power of the idea of home from the perspectives of immigrants.

I Color Myself

I Color Myself Different is a joyful ode to Black and Brown lives based on real events in young Colin's life that is perfect for every reader's bookshelf. It's a story of self-discovery, staying true to one's self, and advocating for change... even when you're very little!
