ViacomCBS is doing its part to let the African American community know that they matter today.
A company-wide memo announced that their platforms – which include CBS, BET, and MTV – will go dark tomorrow for 8-minutes and 46-seconds to mark the time in which George Floyd was brutally killed as a tribute to him and other victims of racism.
In addition, they’ll join Black Out Tuesday so they can, “focus our attention away from work and towards our community. We will not hold any meetings nor conduct any business – rather we will stand in solidarity with our African American colleagues and loved ones across the country.” The company has not given word when the ‘blackout’ will happen.
