In an effort to educate Atlanta's youth on the importance of personal financial management skills, Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell will lead a panel discussion entitled "Uncorked: A Toast to Financial Literacy" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, at The Atlantic, 361 17th Street N.W. The public is invited.

The financial literacy education campaign is part of a state-wide campaign stop led by Shawnnell Brown, Miss Black Georgia USA, who has made financial literacy a key component of her platform as she speaks with youth across the state.
