I love to highlights the positive narratives of young Black men, something that the media hates to do. Therefore, when I heard the news about "Chance the Rapper" and Michael Bennett, I had to share the story.
I already know that y'all know who Chance the Rapper is, and also I know that y'all know Michael Bennett (no.72 for the Seattle Seahawks). Although one brother is a multiple Grammy winner and the other brother is a Super-bowl champion, I am not here today to talk about their entertainment/athletic accomplishments. I am here to talk about their awareness and their educational accomplishments. I am here to boast and celebrate that these two brothers are real brothers that refuse to be puppets for the system.
This week, both Chance the Rapper and Michael Bennett made great strives to help this next generation succeed even in the face of a oppression as well as rigged system. Earlier this week, after several attempts to get a level understanding from the Governor of Illinois, Chance the Rapper decided to take action into his own hands. He made a amazing and courageous decision to take responsibility for the quality of life for young black children. Chance the Rapper this week donated $1 Million dollars to the Chicago Public School System to ensure that little brown children from the city have a fair opportunity to be successful in the educational system. The million dollars will be used to sustain adequate arts and after-school programs for Chicago students.
In addition, inspired by the acts of Chance the Rapper, Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks has also decided to do something great. Michael Bennett has decided to donate the money this year from all his endorsement deals to rebuilding communities in the inner-city. In addition, he is also donating a portion of his money to programs to empower African-American women. Last, Bennett is going to donate 50% of all his 2017-2018 jersey sells to urban farming programs.

Wow, this is beyond amazing, both of these brothers are doing incredible things. Their efforts speaks to the character and mindset of both brothers. Their actions speak for themselves.
I pray this is going to start becoming a new trend around the league and around the African-American entertainers' industry.
Therefore, I appreciate and celebrate the great actions of these two brothers, And, it has inspired me greatly as a result.
Peace and Blessings,
The Brown Brother
