Former 49er and original anthem protester Colin Kaepernick, was honored with the National Education Association’s President’s Award on Sunday night.

Breitbart reports Kaepernick received the award for his efforts with the Know Your Rights Camp, which, according to its website, seeks to “help build a stronger generation of people that will create the change that is much needed in this world.”

NEA President Lily Eskelsen García said her organization decided to honor Kaepernick, and others, as “shining examples of social justice activism.”

Along with Kaepernick, the NEA also reportedly honored former First Lady Michelle Obama, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association, Vermont’s Muslim Girls Making Change and others.
