Rapper Kanye West, who joined a peaceful march Thursday on Chicagoโ€™s South Side that was organized by Chicago public school students and others, is donating $2 million to support the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

He is also creating a college fund for Floydโ€™s 6-year-old daughter, as well as paying legal fees for all three families.

Some of Westโ€™s benevolence will also go toward helping struggling Black-owned businesses in Chicago, Westโ€™s hometown.
