Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, the husband of tennis star Serena Williams, called Friday for his seat on the board of the social news company to be given to a black candidate.
Ohanian said in an online post that he resigned from the board of Reddit, which he co-founded 15 years ago.
He vowed to use any future gains on his stock in the enterprise to serve the black community, predominantly by curbing racial hate.
Ohanian also pledged a million dollars to former NFL star Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp.
"It's long overdue to do the right thing," Ohanian said in a video posted online.
"I'm saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks 'What did you do?'"
Ohanian and Williams married three years ago and have one child.
