I mean, they specifically say they are partnering with him and his publishing company to write stories on Medium about race and civil rights. Outside of that, they call out how his voice/actions led discussions on racial justice and how the world is just now catching up to him. I believe they are calling this out because they believe these discussions will be continuing, and they want to be the place for the discussions to happen. Also, Colin led those initial discussions years ago and took a lot of heat for it. History is now proving that he was in the right, and his critics were wrong. If you want your platform to host content about race/civil rights, Colin seems like a great person to have on your side.
