Famed fashion designer Virgil Abloh reminded people that he’s a Black man who faces the ugliness of racism daily and being successful does nothing to shield him from that.
The money is to help those arrested for protesting the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died in Minneapolis after a white now former police officer knelt on his neck.
“The Miami community ~ I’m crazy inspired For kids in the streets that need a bail funds for George Floyd protests,” wrote Abloh when he announced his donation.
Abloh then explained that his $50 donation was in solidarity with some of his friends in Miami who created a post and asked people to unite for their local community.
“I have donated $20,500 to bail funds and other causes related to this movement,” wrote Abloh.
