Following the failure of the Freedman's Bank, shortly after its inception at the close of the Civil War, many African American fraternal organizations expanded their scope of interests to try to fill the void. The intent was to continue to provide the financial base needed to support the growth of a capitalist - employer class.

One of the leaders in this effort was Maggie Walker, the first African American women bank president. - Reproduced
