Today's "Unsung (S)hero": Maggie Lena Walker, bank president and civic leader in Richmond, VA. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize the role played by all volunteers and philanthropists whose work for the common good supports the growth and stability of our communities.
Sepia-tinted photo of a middle-aged, heavyset, light-skinned Black woman, dressed elegantly in the style of the early 1920's, hair in a stylish bob. She wears a strand of pearls and a large cross pinned to the front of her dress. She is posed in the manner of civic leaders, smiling gently into the distance beyond the camera. Caption beside the photo reads "Maggie Lena Walker, 1864-1934. Bank president, civic and business leader." Quotation below this reads "The pennies, dimes, and dollars of a thousand individuals change the weak word 'few' into the powerful word 'many.'"
