Community Capital:
Race, Equity and the Credit Union Movement
Author and GNPS Member:
Clifford N. Rosenthal
What does it take to bring financial justice to communities of color?
Cliff Rosenthal, shaped by the movements of the 1960s, fought for decades against government indifference and systemic bias—finally seeing change come after the death of George Floyd. Michael McCray, a renowned whistle-blower, led an unprecedented court challenge to the unjust federal termination of his fraternity’s Kappa Alpha Psi Federal Credit Union. Here for the first time you’ll find the inside story of the landmark KAPFCU v NCUA federal court case. These stories will inspire all those working to fulfill the promise of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the financial system.
Cliff Rosenthal cofounded and for two decades helped lead the CDFI movement. As CEO of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions and later as the first director of the Office of Financial Empowerment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, he devoted his career to bringing financial services to low-income and minority communities. He lives and works in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY.
