Mark Zuckerberg,founder of Facebook, has reacted to the deaths of a
number of African Americans resulting from police brutality and he
disclosed the efforts he’s making to use his platform to combat racial
injustice.

The tech mogul mourned the death of George Floyd who was murdered, 
condemned police brutality saying it “reminds us how far our country has
to go to give every person the freedom to live with dignity and peace.”

“It reminds us yet again that the violence Black people in America live
with today is part of a long history of racism and injustice,” he added.

He further stated that “the organizations fighting for justice also need
funding” and that “Facebook is committing an additional $10 million to
groups working on racial justice.” He acknowledged that the money will
not be enough but they are making efforts to put it to good use.

He added that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan have been donating for
years to fight racial injustice and will continue to do so through their
initiative. He said, “the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has been one of
the largest funders, investing ~$40 million annually for several years
in organizations working to overcome racial injustice.”

He wrote: “The pain of the last week reminds us how far our country has
to go to give every person the freedom to live with dignity and peace.
It reminds us yet again that the violence Black people in America live
with today is part of a long history of racism and injustice. We all
have the responsibility to create change.
