Larry Fink, Jamie Dimon and other executives denounce racism amid protests

Citigroup’s chief financial officer Mark Mason wrote on the firm’s website that he reacted with “horror, disgust and anger” after seeing George Floyd’s death

Amid protests over the fatal arrest of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, the chief executives of several public companies have spoken out against police violence, racism and other injustices.

“No organization is immune from the challenges posed by racial bias,” BlackRock CEO Larry Fink wrote on LinkedIn Saturday. “As a firm committed to racial equality, we must also consider where racial disparity exists in our own organizations and not tolerate our shortcomings.”
