This article speaks volumes on Judy!

Someone once said, "Never Forget Where You Came From." Well, back in the day we used call it the "Credit Union Movement." Today, many call us an industry or refer to us as financial services. Back in the day, credit union movement leaders talked about the importance of the credit union philosophy, People Helping People, and how credit unions emerged as an important financial services lifeline for Americans, following the Great Depression which started in 1929. This video was part of my credit union movement education. Perhaps it is a little corny and the black & white imagery might make you think of your grandparents. But I still believe credit unions were created for a noble purpose, to help people of modest means, improve their own financial lives and help our Country grow out of the depths of financial despair. I believe the credit union philosophy remains a critical financial lifeline for Americans, even more so today, as we all head into unknown, unchartered, unprecedented times. Not For Profit, Not For Charity, But for Service. https://lnkd.in/eQcAtaCK

The Massachusetts Credit Union Act of 1907 established many credit unions through a cooperative association trying to promote thrift among members. The first credit unions for the Black American community were established 11 years later, enabling financial independence for farmers and urban groups to help them reach financial independence. The civil rights movement in the 1950s led to widespread establishment of credit unions for the Black community. Despite racial discrimination, hundreds of credit unions were formed under the Johnson administration's Great Society Initiative, providing low-interest loans and enabling African Americans to purchase homes and businesses. Today, there are 41 Black-owned financial institutions. #learntogether #cuinterface #CUSO #creditunion #creditunions #creditunionlife #creditunionsrock #creditunionfamily #creditunionmarketing #credituniondifference #coredata #coredataservices #coredatateam #coredataprocessing #coreprocessor #coreprocessing #coreprocessors #creditunionservice #creditunionserviceorganization #mpowered #cooperativetechnologysolutions #coredataprocessor #financialawareness #financialfreedom #financialindependence #blackhistorymonth #bhm #bhm25 #blackhistory
