edit: HOLD UP. Wait a minute. The FORD FOUNDATION is not the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Motor Company has a Ford Motor Company Fund that exists as its charitable foundation. We can research what that fund is doing and it wouldn't shock me at all if it was full BLM but this article is NOT about them.
You really think his position isnt because of the lavish fortune hes obtained by inheriting Ford? As Ford goes so does his contributions to the Ford Foundation.
“At the time of Ford III’s election to the board, the foundation’s president, Darren Walker, said, “Although we were established to be an independent institution, our recent efforts in southeastern Michigan have marked a reconnection with the Ford family, coming full circle with Henry’s election to our board.””

When ford joined the foundation they called it a “reconnection” .
I know they are separate but think the Ford family supports the goals of the ford foundation.
"And for all their problems, the Fords have earned a reputation for not meddling in the corporate decision-making process. “The Fords, in general, have a pretty good history of letting the executives run the company,” said Rob Du Boff, environmental, social and corporate governance analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence."

While clearly a douche, Henry Ford III is not involved in the management of the Ford Motor Company. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-14/henry-ford-iii-is-rising-to-the-top-of-a-dynasty-in-deep-trouble
