With his star power and influence firmly reestablished following the airing of the 10-part documentary The Last Dance, Michael Jordan  is using his mighty platform to speak out against racism and police brutality following the murder of George Floyd.

Jordan issued a statement through Jordan Brand's social channels Sunday evening. "I am deeply saddened, truly pained and plain angry," he said. "I see and feel everyone's pain, outrage and frustration. I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough."
