Financial Literacy is the key to freedom.
It is, however, a freedom that many people never realize. President Lincoln and Frederick Douglass tried to ensure that financial literacy was embedded into the fabric of the United States by founding the Freedman's Bank in 1865. But their work is still unfinished!
Operation HOPE launched The 1865 Project to facilitate growth, scale, and innovation so that we can effect greater systemic change by promoting financial literacy in America.
