Teaching Black Children Financial Literacy at 12: Investing and Trading

It is no secret that there are longstanding disparities in wealth and financial literacy between different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Black Americans, in particular, have historically faced systemic barriers that have made it more difficult for them to accumulate wealth and build generational prosperity.

One powerful way to combat these disparities and empower young Black children is through early education in investment and trading. By teaching young Black children the fundamentals of financial literacy at an early age, we can equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about money and investments throughout their lives.

Furthermore, introducing Black children to the world of investment and trading at an early age can help demystify these concepts and dispel the notion that they are reserved for a wealthy or privileged few. By making financial literacy and investment accessible to all children, regardless of their background, we can help create a more equitable and just society.
