Television City and Hackman Capital hope others in the industry will participate in the program to encourage training and hiring of minority jobseekers.
High-profile studio Television City has pledged a $1-million endowment to improve diversity in the entertainment industry by training Black students and other young people from underrepresented communities so they can work behind the camera.
Television City also pledged another $1 million to support the recovery of the Fairfax district around Television City from hardships related to the coronavirus outbreak that saw the closure of most businesses as well as property damage caused during recent civil unrest surrounding the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man killed while in police custody in Minneapolis.
