Late last week, 21 Savage and his Bank Account Campaign visited a local Atlanta school, meeting with students to teach them the importance of financial literacy and money basics.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 21 spoke to about 40 grade schoolers about financial literacy, gang violence, gun control and the importance of staying in school. Joining him in attendance was U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson.

“As I have gotten smarter about financial management, I realize how important it is to control your money rather than be controlled by it.” During his visit, he committed $100 each to each student who attended the event to open up their own bank account.
