Rapper Kanye West has donated $2 million in light of recent race-related events in the United States. A large portion of his donation has gone to support the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, all of whom were victims of police brutality on the basis of skin color.
Specifically, this contribution will cover legal fees for the Taylor and Arbery families as well as pay for the college tuition of Gianna Floyd, George Floyd's 6-year old daughter.
Kanye West is also generously donating more money to support black-owned businesses, particularly in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
