The GRO Fund is launching Freedom Futures: Cash for Today, Capital for Tomorrow. The pilot program, which aims to address the racial wealth divide, gives selected participants $500 a month in guaranteed income and up to $40,000 in Baby Bonds for wealth-building, along with financial advising. Hope Wollensack, the founding executive director of the GRO Fund, and Amit Khanduri, the director of programs, talk more about the goal of the program and its application.
Plus, for more than 40 years, Oscar Harris has used his creativity and vision to conceptualize and design. Harris is recognized as one of the most influential architects in the South. Some of his work can be found across metro Atlanta, including Centennial Olympic Park, the atrium at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the interiors of MARTA stations. For a special audio documentary, Rose Scott talks with Harris about his career journey from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, as well as his passion for mentorship and putting things together. Scott also talks with Melody Harclerode, the executive director of SPIKE Studio, which Harris founded in 2004.
