The family of George Floyd has received an outpour of support as they embark on a journey towards seeking justice and healing.
According to Black Enterprise, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority announced it will create scholarships for Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter Gianna and his granddaughters.
The scholarship fund—which was unveiled by Alpha Kappa Alpha President Dr. Glenda Baskin Glover—will support the girls in attending a historically Black college or university of their choice.
The scholarship fund was created to not only invest in the futures of the girls whose lives have been forever changed by the traumatic loss of Floyd, but to spread awareness about the damaging effects of police brutality and racism in an effort to evoke change.
Several organizations and collegiate institutions have pledged to provide financial support for Floyd’s daughter Gianna when its time for her to enter college.
