"To live in a system of free enterprise, and to not understand the rules of free enterprise, must be the very definition of slavery." The racial wealth divide in America is a huge problem. So what do two Black men, both of whom have access to enough capital to actually make a difference, think we should do about it?
In this week’s episode, Van Jones sits down with John Hope Bryant, founder of Operation HOPE, Inc. An entrepreneur and philanthropist, John is focused on financial literacy as a means to reach social justice. Van wants to use his financial influence to disrupt the $90 billion per year incarceration industry. Can black capitalism effectively counter white racism? Is there anything more meaningful in life than your credit score? Join us for an uncommon conversation on money, race, freedom and justice.
New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.
Have a question for Van? Call 347-770-2785 and leave him a voicemail. Your question will be recorded, and may be played and answered on a future episode of Uncommon Ground!
