The Bentonville, Ark., company confirmed on Monday that it would end a $100 million commitment to the Center for Racial Equity it created in 2020 after George Floyd's murder, phase out supplier diversity programs, and stop some third parties from selling certain LGBTQ merchandise on its website, the Associated Press reported.
