Artist Creates Colin Kaepernick Mural in Oakland: 'We Got Your Back'

On Thursday, journalist Pendarvis Harshaw spotted a mural in Oakland, California, that depicts San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

The portrait of Kaepernick features the words "We got your back," a clear reference to the 28-year-old's decision to protest the national anthem to bring attention to treatment of minorities.

"The illustration speaks volumes," Harshaw told NBC Bay Area's Lisa Fernandez. "It's about the community rallying around the athlete."

Harshaw also noted the significance of the location, as the mural is in Oakland Raiders territory.

All that's known about the artist is three letters, "FLC," which appear in the bottom right corner.
