We are really excited about this event. Not enough people know about the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the discrimination faced by women before it was passed. Leslie Aroon Walsh and Ingrid G. did important work in capturing these pre-Act stories. Join us to hear these oral histories which will be archived in the People’s Archive DC Public Library #oralhistory
Just 50 years ago, a bank could legally deny a woman credit without a man's co-signature. In this month's Culture Series presented by HumanitiesDC, guest curators Leslie Aroon Walsh and Ingrid G. will explore how that changed. Join us on March 20 for a Women's History Month event, "Bank on Her," highlighting a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. This event will explore the impact of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), a landmark civil rights legislation passed half a century ago, by sharing powerful oral histories of women who faced gender-based discrimination when seeking credit.
