Wayne Denno: Thanks for telling us about Kaepernick’s mom

Re “Any son would be proud of a mom like you” (Page 4A, Sept. 26): This is just to thank you for today’s editorial regarding Teresa Kaepernick. It was wise and courageous in its own right. And it touched my heart with its tribute to Colin’s brave effort to call attention to the stubborn remnants of racism that still impact our nation and its institutions.

Wayne Denno, Merced
