#FirstIndependence was proud to sponsor the Pathways to #Wealth seminar hosted by @detroitdeltas, focused on legacy building & financial health. From wills & trusts to #wealthplanning, it was a great conversation centered on #financialfreedom for our #communities. #ficonnected

💡In 1888, Capital Savings Bank in Washington, D.C., became the first Black-owned, chartered commercial bank in the U.S. It played a crucial role in providing #financialresources to the Black community. #Ficonnected #BlackHistoryMonth (Photo: Because of Them We Can)
