I was reading Mary Mcleod Bethune, "National Council.." and Maggie Walker was mentioned. I got excited and looked her up. Because I know that there are myriads of other leaders who contributed to the fight of oppression who we are unaware.

With the current state of the economy this iconic figure as well as what happens at the Federal Reserve are great ways for citizens to be prepared for the future by becoming aware of our past. The activities of banking will continue to affect our community as well as what happens further across boundaries..
