On Nike's Colin Kaepernick Ad, PR Legend Angelo Ellerbee Joins the Conversation on i24 News

NEW YORK - Sept. 10, 2018 - PRLog -- Angelo Ellerbee, public relations legend and author of the Bestselling, Ask Angelo (Amazon/B&N) and "The Sense of Success," brings his inspiring perspectives to the latest current headlines. Ellerbee, a Newark, New Jersey native, has been most focused on youth development and community improvement since his early teens. Growing up in the city facing racial discrimination, riots, and a national reputation for violence, Ellerbee set his goals on creating programs and events that would help alleviate the problems. Having witnessed the Newark riots first-hand and the effects of police brutality that led to more unrest than peace, Ellerbee celebrates this generation's efforts, such as Colin Kaepernick's, to bring awareness of major issues affecting the community.

Asked by i24 News, Ellerbee weighed in on Nike's decision to run the Colin Kaepernick ad that has stirred so much controversy. Hearing of Nike's decision to bring its media power behind what has turned into a movement behind Colin Kaepernick and his silent but galvanizing protests, Ellerbee adds this to the conversation:

"I believe foremost in a sense of justice and the right to stand or kneel for whatever you believe in. If anything, Colin's bravery is now being used as a motivating point by Nike to say you too can stand for what you believe in, whether everybody accepts you or not. Both are courageous moves and ones I believe more people are going to get behind." ~ Angelo Ellerbee

He joined i24 International News as a guest to bring his insight to the topic.
