## Resource

Kevin Chisholm explains how he pivoted from adult consulting to a youth-focused nonprofit to bridge the racial wealth gap. He details a curriculum that combines modern stock market investing with critical lessons from African and Black history.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Addressing the racial wealth gap requires teaching financial literacy through a lens of cultural and historical relevance
- Practical takeaway: Investment clubs serve as a powerful vehicle for community wealth building and shared financial education
- Failure mode: A lack of interest in the stock market among adults led to a strategic pivot toward educating the next generation
- Historical context: Using stories like the Freedom's Bank failure helps students understand the necessity of institutional trust and informed banking
- Opportunity: Early exposure to budgeting, credit, and equity markets can prevent future financial instability and enable early retirement
