The Indianapolis Colts organization on Thursday announced a number of new initiatives in order to help further support the local Black community:
In the wake of the senseless killing of George Floyd in Minnesota—which was the boiling over point for our country after a long history of racially charged police brutality and injustices against black victims, the Colts have created constructive means that the franchise can seek to spark positive social change by providing local support to the Indianapolis Black community.
This includes the creation of a full-time Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion position, the Irsay Family Impact Scholarship, and honoring the history of June 19th, 1865, as a permanent company recognized holiday.
