Hip-Hop, Chess, Mentors give kids brighter futures

Hip-hop celebrities are reaching out to troubled kids with chess. This is an excellent way to teach children how to slow down, how to problem-solve, and improve their self-confidence.

In this video, see how hip-hop stars and rappers like RZA teach kids' life lessons through chess:



The Hip-Hop Chess Federation is a shining example of the power to improve a child's life through a game. I'd love to see this organization (and others like it) flourish and thrive, and save more kids!
