#Repost @cheekychichi13 with @repostapp ・・・ Maggie Lena Walker was the first woman in America — of any color — to charter and serve as president of a bank. However, when Walker was born in 1864, it wasn't into a position that suggested future financial triumphs. As she once noted, "I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but with a laundry basket practically on my head." Much of her childhood was spent working with her mother, a former slave, in her mother's laundry business. As a teenager, Walker became part of the Independent Order of St. Luke, a fraternal African-American organization. By 1899, the Order was in financial difficulties, with just $30 in funds (and $400 in debts). However, those problems didn't deter Walker from becoming head of the group that year. She felt the Order had a chance to help members by expanding its services, and envisaged a bank that would serve the black community. In a 1901 speech, Walker said, "Let us have a bank that will take the nickels and turn them into dollars." The Saint Luke Penny Savings Bank opened in Richmond in November 1903, and took in more than $9,000 in deposits on its first day. And while white-owned banks had often ignored or mistreated African Americans, Walker's bank was happy to serve them — by 1920, it had facilitated the purchase of more than 600 homes. With the help of mergers that Walker coordinated, the bank survived the Great Depression as Consolidated Bank and Trust. It remained America's oldest continuously African-American-operated bank until it was acquired by Premier Bank in 2009 -courtesy of bio.com #BLKHISTORY #heritage #february #leapyear
