Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and his wife, Patty Quillin, are donating $120 million toward student scholarships at historically black colleges and universities.
He launched a $100 million education fund in 2016, beginning with money toward college scholarships for black and Latino students.
He said HBCUs have been resilient “little-known gems” for black education.
Amid protests over police brutality that began three weeks ago, companies and business leaders have been pledging solidarity with their black employees and the black community.
Other tech industry donations in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests have largely been on the company level.
