Well done good and faithful servant.

in 1864, African American businesswoman Maggie L. Walker was born in Richmond, Virginia. In 1899, Walker became the grand secretary for the Independent Order of St. Luke, an organization dedicated to the social and financial advancement of African Americans, a position she held until her death in 1934. ⁣
⁣
Walker seized control during a troubling time when the organization was facing a financial crisis. To combat these challenges, she founded the St. Luke Herald newspaper in 1902 to improve communication between the organization's chapters.

She also opened the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, becoming the first African American woman to charter a bank in the United States. In 1905, she opened the St. Luke Emporium, a department store specially created with African American employees and shoppers in mind.
