About This Book

The pamphlet examines a commissioners' report on the liquidation of the Freedmen's Bank and accuses local political and financial leaders of conspiring to divert African American depositors' savings into worthless securities. The author details an investigation that includes a whistleblower's transcript of suspect loans, examples of hypothecated paving and quarry stocks and worthless bonds, and descriptions of official complicity and moral failure. Interwoven are personal recollections of meetings and protests, an argument that political patronage enabled the fraud, and a forceful denunciation of the betrayal of the bank's intended beneficiaries.
