Michelle Obama thanks Chance The Rapper for stepping up for Chicago schools
Chance The Rapper puts his money where his mouth is. Following a disappointing meeting with Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner last week to talk about education funding in Chicago, yesterday the recent Grammy winner held a press conference to announce he would be donating $1 million to Chicago Public Schools, which is facing a shortened school year due to budget issues. “Our kids should not be held hostage because of political positions,” he said, calling for others to join him in donating.
