Financial Literacy in the Urban Environment (YouTube Video)

Earl Christian III, spokesperson for the Urban Wall Street Project introduces his concept in this video. He clearly addresses young black men as he exhorts members of his community to pay more attention to community assets and how individuals use their income. Another thing I find unusual and refreshing is that Christian is not pushing any other agenda in this video other than the need for people in urban communities to become “financially literate”. As he explains this concept more, he distances it from a mindset that becomes entranced with personal material wealth asserting that the only smart way for an individual to manage their money is to pay attention to where it is they spend it and what facets of the community benefit. Very Nice!
