John Hope Bryant's TIME Impact Dinner: The Closers 2024 Toast

John Hope Bryant’s nonprofit Operation Hope is focused on providing financial literacy to underserved communities. “I think financial literacy is a civil rights issue of this generation,” Bryant said. “You cannot have a country with the largest economy on the planet for the next 30 years without these Closers and everybody else in this room that are closing the economic gap—by trading you up, getting you in the economy, becoming homeowners, small business owners, and entrepreneurs.”
