“We applaud and thank Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew for his wisdom in renaming the Treasury Annex in honor of the historic Freedman’s Bank Building that once sat in its footprint and provided a pathway for economic opportunity for newly freed slaves. The renaming of the building is profoundly important because of its power to keep our national attention focused on the need that continues to this day for advancing the bank’s mission and legacy of promoting economic prosperity for all.”
