FOLKS WHO GET IT: COMPTON BROTHER AND HIS MESSAGE OF HOPE

John Bryant is on a mission. And I'm not saying that because he's been a good friend for well over a decade. I'm saying that because I have seen first-hand this Black man's commitment to financial literacy, eradicating world poverty, and overcoming this continued sense of victimhood plaguing the African-American community.

In recognizing the upcoming 15 year anniversary of the civil unrest in Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdicts, Bryant and his staff at Operation Hope had an incredible turnout in South Los Angeles Monday.

With local politicians, bankers and power players hanging on his every word, Bryant led hundreds on detailed bus tours around several neighborhoods to encourage those who can to "do good" by investing "in the hood."

Recognized by presidents, foreign dignitaries, and even Oprah, learn more about the brother from Compton, California and his Silver Rights movement here.
