Stories of excellence that need to be told #improvisingonthechanges #Repost @becauseofthem with @get_repost ・・・ Visionary filmmaker Ava DuVernay has been a long-time supporter of athlete turned activist Colin Kaepernick, and now she is teaming up with the young star to bring part of his story to TV. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a recent Vanity Fair feature, it was revealed that DuVernay will be working with the former NFL player to create a TV comedy series that centers around his life in high school. She said the series will be like “‘Friday Night Lights’ meets ‘Everybody Hates Chris.’ What’s not to love?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kaepernick, who is biracial, was born in Wisconsin but raised in Turlock, California after being adopted by two white parents. He was a three-sport athlete at John H. Pitman High School and made the All-State team his senior year for football, basketball and baseball. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ His older brother, Kyle, tells The New York Times that he nicknamed Colin Bo Jackson because growing up he was so good at both baseball and football. In fact, he says in high school, colleges were interested in Colin as a baseball pitcher and football quarterback, but he made it clear that football was his first love. It was his brother who also burned DVD’s of the young athlete’s high school highlights and sent them to colleges across the country, which eventually helped him to earn a scholarship to the University of Nevada. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While full details about the comedy series have yet to be disclosed, we're sure that whatever Kaepernick and DuVernay put together will be worth our attention. #becauseofthemwecan

Get your hands off me #Repost @real_sharpton with @get_repost ・・・ “This is #AnthonyWall, in prom clothes, being lifted off the ground and choked by a Warsaw County police officer at Waffle House. He had just taken his little sister to prom. And yet again #WaffleHouse called the cops. Anthony, of course was unarmed & non-violent. This is assault. It's not just wrong. What this cop did is a crime. 1. We must be done w/ Waffle House. They are failing us in every way. I don't mean a temporary boycott. We're done there. I'm never going back to that place and don't you go back either. 2. This #NorthCarolina Police Officer needs to be charged w/ criminal assault. This isn't just bad policy - it's a crime.”- repost @shaunking @madameash #policebrutality #wafflehouse #thisisamerica #improvisingonthechanges
