Professional athletes from the worlds of football, basketball, and even professional wrestling are gathering at Morehouse College in Atlanta this week. They’re learning how to become better social activists.

It’s been more than a year since NFL players like Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the national anthem to protest police violence.

Now the league is partnering with Morehouse to host a workshop about effective social activism. It started Wednesday and runs through Friday.
