HOUSTON — The African American Credit Union Coalition is working on a research project that will culminate with an interactive exhibit unveiling at the America's Credit Union Museum on Oct. 16.
The "Journey of Hope-Destination of Dreams" exhibit will feature African-American pioneers that contributed to the growth of credit unions. Attendees at the coalition's annual meeting were given a sneak peek of a DVD that contains interviews and snapshots of the movement in its early days.
"Many of our fore parents worked tirelessly with very little resources but a whole lot of time," said Helen Godfrey-Smith, chairwoman of the AACUC mentorship committee. "Can you images the hours of volunteerism?"
