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. Advertisement"I'm saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks 'What did you do?'" "I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now," the 37-year-old Reddit co-founder said.
