The #BankBlack movement is still in full gear and now we’ve revised the list of Black-Owned banks in the U.S. We’ve lost a few banks since the last time this list ws compiled so it’s even more crucial that we support these banks.  They serve as a lifeline to the under-served communities they’re in. People who ordinarily might have trouble getting access to capital to start a business or even problems with getting a simple checking account, these banks fill a major void. They should not be looked at as last resort options but as viable first options. Take a look at the full list below.
