Fortnite threw an “in-game event” to educate players on racism. The gaming platform has quickly transformed into an entertainment venue as virtual concerts trend. Now, it’s becoming a space to discuss social issues as brands continue to show support for Black Lives Matter. Over the weekend, the app and CNN political commentator Van Jones hosted “We The People”—a series of conversations on systemic racism in America. Journalists Elaine Welteroth and Jemele Hill, and rapper Killer Mike were among the speakers to join the event, which was aired every other hour on the 4th. (Mashable, The Verge)
