Sixty-five years ago today, the Greensboro Four sat at the lunch counter of the F. W. Woolworth Company store, asked to be served, and refused to leave when denied service. Others joined each day.
After 5 months of these sit-ins, Woolworth began serving Black customers. #BHM2025

This app looks so exciting! I can’t wait to try it once it’s released. Keeping an eye out for the TestFlight beta next week!
Thanks so much for your interest! FYI the app is NOT available yet. I hope to start an open Testflight beta next week and will post the invite here.

Banks and nonbanks play game of loans like ‘Game of Thrones’, where every player has a different set of rules. In this realm, it’s not just about who sits on the Iron Throne, but who gets the best rates. And just like in Westeros, it’s the ordinary folks who need a dragon!

Is it possible to say which administration created the best policies that reduced wage wage gaps? For example, some administrations benefitted from residual changes made by their predecessor.
The Black/white wage differential stopped falling by 1980.
Since then, it rose from ~20% to ~24% in 2018.
It has fallen over the past 5 years, and stands under 16% today, an all time low.
The tight labor market has led to a historic reduction in racial wage disparities.
