is joining its board of directors, the first non-white member of the board. Medium also will partner with the ex-NFL star and civil rights activist to develop anti-racist content for the blogging site.
In addition to the board seat, Medium will partner with Kaepernick Publishing to create feature content focused on race and civil rights in America. Jermaine Hall, editor-in-chief of Level, will work closely with Kaepernick on his editorial contributions. Kaepernick will be writing stories and collaborating on editorial features for Level/Medium and Medium’s new blog Momentum on anti-Black racism and civil rights in U.S. society.
“We’ve been in talks with Colin for some time, and we are honored to be electing him to join our board,” Medium’s Ev Williams, who is also a Twitter co-founder, said in a statement. “Colin’s voice and actions have led the discussion on racial justice, and the world is finally catching up to him. He’s an incisive, independent thinker, whose integrity as an activist and athlete has inspired so many.
“I am excited for Kaepernick Publishing to partner with Medium to continue to elevate Black voices in the news and publishing industry,” Kaepernick said in a statement. “I also look forward to creating new opportunities and avenues for Black writers and creators with my new role as a Board member.”
