00:00We have known Chance and his family since he was a wee little baby rapper.
00:05And it has been a thrill watching him come into his own in so many ways.
00:10In addition to making some really amazing music, Chance has been taking that big, bright spotlight that follows him around,
00:18and he's shining it on young people in our hometown of Chicago.
00:26While I'm frustrated and disappointed in the governor's inaction,
00:31that will not stop me from continuing to do all I can to support Chicago's most valuable resource, its children.
00:42I'm proud to announce that I am donating one million dollars to CPS to support arts and enrichment programming.
00:55Well, social activism as a whole, I just grew up with, you know, strong figures in my family, the women
01:02in my family.
01:03You know, my great grandmother, Marshall King.
01:06My grandmother volunteered, herself and all her kids, to work for Harold Washington's campaign.
01:11I was going to tell, I was going to tell the Chicago public school system not to take out a
01:15loan from Chase Bank
01:16when they know that our schools are planning on failing in our district.
01:20I want to be, I want to be more involved outside of just my community in Chicago.
01:23I want to travel overseas and help out people all over the world.
01:27Try and raise somebody up, you know.
01:30You know, people always talk about being the change we want to see.
01:32Like, if you can today, while you're outside, you know, meet somebody and try and help them.
01:42You don't have any respect for life if you don't have anything going on, you know.
01:46Or respect for anyone else's life if you don't have anything going on.
01:50But then again, I am also just a rapper from Chicago. I don't really have all the answers.
01:55???
01:55?
01:56?
01:57?
01:59?
