## Caption

Eroseanna "Rose" Robinson was consumed by the need to challenge injustice, and over half a century before Colin Kaepernick, she defied the US national anthem. 
In a life full of resistance to segregation and war, Robinson was imprisoned, protesting further with a hunger strike which ultimately ended her sporting career. This is a story of a forgotten heroine of American athletic activism. Link to article in bio.
