She had worked hard to make sure I was enrolled in good schools with the resources that matched my potential. She had shown up to countless parent-teacher conferences and advocated for me when racist policies might have otherwise jeopardized my future. #2 The average American household is in debt. Like the sharecroppers of old, we are tethered to our jobs, struggling to make ends meet while making all of these debt payments. This prevents us from doing many things, like taking jobs we want or going on vacation. #3 The credit card companies are constantly seeking out new customers to sign up, and the system is rigged to make the credit card providers rich. #4 The credit card industry is new in the history of consumer financial instruments. It wasn’t long ago that you had to save up and pay cash if you wanted to buy something. With the introduction of credit cards, people could take what they wanted home immediately while making payments over time.

Between 1888 and 1930, African Americans opened more than a hundred banks and thousands of other financial institutions. In Banking on Freedom, Shennette Garrett-Scott explores this rich period of black financial innovation and its transformative impact on U.S. capitalism through the story of the St. Luke Bank in Richmond, Virginia: the first and only bank run by black women. Banking on Freedom offers an unparalleled account of how black women carved out economic, social, and political power in contexts shaped by sexism, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation. Garrett-Scott chronicles both the bank’s success and the challenges this success wrought, including extralegal violence and aggressive oversight from state actors who saw black economic autonomy as a threat to both democratic capitalism and the social order. The teller cage and boardroom became sites of activism and resistance as the leadership of president Maggie Lena Walker and other women board members kept the bank grounded in meeting the needs of working-class black women. The first book to center black women’s engagement with the elite sectors of banking, finance, and insurance, Banking on Freedom reveals the ways gender, race, and class shaped the meanings of wealth and risk in U.S. capitalism and society.
