1903
Jackson Ward, Richmond

The daughter of a washerwoman became the first Black woman to charter a bank in America, telling her members to turn their nickels into dollars. Her bank took in children's penny savings, financed hundreds of Black-owned homes, and is the only one of Richmond's Black banks that survived the Depression.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
