Hollywoods bigwig director JJ Abrams has pledged donations of $10 million towards the Black Lives Matter movement to take the fight against racism forward, following the death of George Floyd.
The Star Wars director has joined hands with his wife Katie McGrath and production company Bad Robot to pledge the donation over the next five years to groups with anti-racist agendas, reports a website.
In a statement posted on the Bad Robot Instagram page, it announced charitable donations to a number of organisations. As a start, they will donate $200,000 each to groups — Black Lives Matter LA, Black Futures Lab, Community Coalition, Equal Justice Initiative, and Know Your Rights Camp. (IANS)
