More than 500 brewery owners around the world have already signed up to create and sell their own versions of a beer called "Black is Beautiful."
They've committed all proceeds from the beer to local organizations supporting police reform.
"Being a Black man that has experienced police abuse in the past, being somebody that's been very teared by the recent events that have been going on, I had to find a way to do something," explained founder Marcus Baskerville, the co-owner of Weathered Souls Brewing Co. in San Antonio.
