Hmmmmmmmmmmm. What happened to Mr. Floyd is a tragedy. This just comes off poorly though, no matter how well-intentioned. Understood that you want to show the world you care. This just seems small, pointless, and unsubstantial. Why not have a button that solicits donations instead of crippling functionality that somebody expects to be there?

Why now when there are so many examples of heavy handed policing in the USA all the time? Some context: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2020-06-01/lies-led-looting
You can call attention more so by reserving a nice area of at the top of the page and logo while still encouraging people to come and learn. Now people will just go there and leave. I can't see how this would get people to care or care more?
Just my opinion.
So I can read the documents on github but not on the website at the moment where instead money is being soliciting to match $10,000 in React donations to Black Lives Matter, The Equal Justice Initiative, and NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.

There are also other events that happened last week: the murder of Breonna Taylor by plain clothes cops in a no-knock raid where her boyfriend called the cops that murdered her to report “someone just broke in and shot my girlfriend”.
Then Ahmad Arbery, who was shot by an ex-cop and his son in a “citizens arrest” gone wrong in a style reminiscent of Jim-crow era lynching.
All of this happened in a week, under a blatantly white supremacist presidency, during a pandemic with 25% unemployment where you might have gotten a $1200 stimulus check, after the populist, anti-racist candidate was shoved out the primary by another president who did nothing (that worked) after protests of police brutality. The rage is palpable.

George Floyd is an instance of a very, very difficult video to watch. Even when you’ve been desensitized to watching people be violently subdued under seemingly peaceful conditions, the absolute lack of humanity of his actions is undeniable.

This actually happened across several months, but much of it did become public within a very short period of time. Breonna Taylor was shot near the end of February, Ahmaud Arbery a few weeks later, and George Floyd was murdered around 2.5 months following that. Unfortunately these sorts of events happen far too often and don't always gain the widespread attention they should in a timely manner.
