(dramatic music)
00:02
People all over the world take the knee,
00:10
but for centuries, black resistance to oppression
00:14
has taken many forms.
00:16
When the quarterback Colin Kaepernick
00:20
first took the knee in 2016,
00:23
during the national anthem at an NFL game,
00:27
there was a huge backlash.
00:29
Ultimately, this act of defiance cost him his livelihood.
00:33
I'm gonna continue to stand with the people
00:35
that are being oppressed.
00:36
This country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all,
00:40
and it's not happening for all right now.
00:42
Maybe you should find a country that works better for him.
00:44
Let him try.
00:45
In the years since, taking the knee
00:48
has become a powerful symbol of resistance,
00:52
as potent as Martin Luther King's civil rights marches,
00:56
and as iconic as Tommy Smith and John Carlos's
00:59
black gloved fist at the 1968 Mexico Olympics.
01:04
Sports people around the world have taken the knee,
01:08
on the football pitch.
01:10
A powerful image to show football's social conscience.
01:14
And on the racing track.
01:16
And that is a positive message from that quote.
01:18
Where will this symbol of resistance lead,
01:22
and where did it come from?
01:24
Is it a passive act, or an act of defiance?
01:27
To answer these questions,
01:29
we travel back through the centuries,
01:31
to the earliest resistance by enslaved Africans
01:35
against racial oppression in the Americas.
