The money will help fund scholarships, tech and educational programming for students in journalism and sports-related fields of study.
The Black Community Commitment is an initiative by Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand to fight against systemic racism.
The gift was made to support programs that help shape the narrative of the Black experience in media and popular culture.
“Our grantees’ critical work includes education about Black history, improving the way Black stories are told, expanding sports journalism education and opportunity for students at HBCUs, and promoting leadership development among journalists and storytellers,” noted an announcement from Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand.
