George Floyd: Kanye West joins protesters to march round streets of Chicago
American rapper, Kanye West, has joined hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters to march around the streets of his native Chicago in response to the death of George Floyd.
Recall that George Floyd is a black man who was killed after a police officer knelt on his neck for over eight minutes a week ago.
Kanye who has been vocal about racial injustice his whole career, wore a face mask and grey sweatshirt during the protests on Thursday, hours after he contributed $2m ‘to the families and legal teams’ fighting for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, and offered to fully pay for the college tuition of Floyd’s six-year-old daughter, Gianna.
Arbery was killed by white men who hunted him down and shot him while he was out jogging in Georgia saying he fit the description of a burglary suspect.
