Maggie Lena Walker, Bank President (ep 3.9)
from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts
Maggie Lena Walker was the first African-American woman to run a bank (and almost the first American woman of any color to run a bank). She led it successfully through a world war, a pandemic, and the Great Depression, and after her death it went on to survive as a continuously black-owned bank for almost a century.
