NFL launches social justice initiative
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is launching a social justice platform, with an emphasis on education, economic development and community and police relations.
The platform is called Inspire Change and includes the funding of grass-roots organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Operation HOPE. It also will establish a digital learning curriculum for African-American history in 175 underserved high schools.
The league announced the initiative Friday in connection with its 32 teams and the Players Coalition, a group of players that works for social justice.
