Michael Jordan says he can 'no longer stay silent' about the explosive level of racial tension between some in the African-American community and law enforcement.
Weeks after the police killings of two more unarmed African-American men, Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile, as well as the seemingly retaliatory killings of five police officers in Dallas and three in Baton Rouge, the NBA legend has donated $2million to two groups in hopes of helping to heal the divide.
The owner of the Charlotte Hornets released a statement saying he donated $1million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund as well as the newly-established Institute for Community-Police Relations run by the International Associations of the Chiefs of Police.
Michael Jordan said he can 'no longer stay silent' in the wake of critical tensions between some of the African-American community and the police in the wake of killings of unarmed black men by cops as well as killings of cops by black men in Dallas and Baton Rouge
