Alicia Keys Partners With The NFL To Announce $1 Billion Fund For Black-Owned Businesses

Alicia Keys performed “Love Looks Better” at the National Football League’s 2020 season Kickoff event last night. The R&B vocalist also announced she is teaming with the NFL for a $1 billion fund.

The fund will financially support Black businesses and communities. This new endowment comes after the NFL faced years of backlash for allegedly blackballing former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick for his peaceful protests during the playing of the national anthem.
