The Boston Red Sox are promoting inclusivity like never before with their latest installment to Fenway Park.

Boston installed a 252-foot long, 20-feet tall Black Lives Matter billboard outside of Fenway Park that overlooks the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The sign also features a Red Sox logo and section that reads, "For more resources visit: RedSoxFoundation.org"

On the website, a "Social Justice, Equality and Inclusion" statement from team President and CEO Sam Kennedy was posted. The statement came after the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and others.

"I am so grateful to my teammates who consistently remind me that the Red Sox have an obligation to amplify the voices of those who share our values, but do not share our platform. Silence in the face of injustice is unacceptable," Kennedy said in the statement.

The Red Sox Foundation page also includes ways people can take action and push for change, including organizations to donate to and causes to speak out for.

Boston will open the 2020 campaign with a series against the Baltimore Orioles beginning on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET, and manager Ron Roenicke said he supports any of his players who decide to kneel during the national anthem despite ongoing controversy on the topic in this nation.
