One little boy decided to use his entrepreneurial skills to raised $3,000 for Detroit, which has a $100 million deficit. From Hip-Hop Wired: "Joshua Smith had a one goal: to raise money to help the city of Detroit. In less than a week of selling lemonade, other beverages, and popcorn, the youngster raised a respectable $3,000. Given the fact that his most expensive product was only $2, Smith did a pretty good job."
The city council and the late Rosa Parks' foundation have honored him: "The 9-year-old told his family that he wanted to do his part to aid the city, so they put up $100 to buy the items which he sold in front of his family home. Once he garnered national attention, Smith received donations from as far as South Africa. 'I heard the city was in crisis because the city is broke and I was really upset,' he said."
