As the year winds down, Grammy Award-winning musician Chance the Rapper is gearing up for an array of endeavors, including an annual free event held at a museum in his hometown to empower kids through art and education.
"We like to create experiences for those in need, an opportunity to get out the house, to get some food, to get some entertainment," he said of his nonprofit organization, Social Works, which he founded in 2016."And obviously we like doing stuff for free for people that don't always get access to stuff."
"It's good to see all those families smiling and everybody just connecting, you know, [during] what's sometimes the coldest part of the year," he told CBS News. "For Black Americans and a lot of diasporas around the world, we don't have that, you know, very easy access to the continent," he said."We're typically taught our whole lives that it's out of reach and it's obviously extremely expensive to travel but once you finally get out to the continent, especially West Africa, you learn about the connections and the similarities and just the richness of the culture.
