Charlotte Hornets owner and Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and his Jordan Brand have pledged $100 million over 10 years to organizations "dedicated to ensuring racial equality, social justice and greater access to education," Jordan Brand announced in a statement Friday afternoon.
"The Jordan Brand is us, the Black Community," the statement begins.
It continues: "Its 2020, and our family now includes anyone who aspires to our way of life. Yet as much as things have changed, the worst remains the same.
Black lives matter. This isnt a controversial statement. Until the ingrained racism that allow our countrys institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people."
