Since the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, this jogger killed by two white men, including a former police officer, and that of George Floyd, during a very muscular arrest in Minneapolis, Jay-Z has redoubled his efforts to contribute to the fight against police violence and racist crimes. In addition to providing a private jet to the lawyer for the family of Ahmaud Arbery so that he can attend the hearing of the two accused men, the rapper uses his fortune and his media exposure to try to awaken the consciences.
At the beginning of June, he had bought a full page of advertising in several newspapers to pay homage to George Floyd, using a speech by Martin Luther King.
