On Saturday, April 15, at 2 pm the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, in partnership with RVA Financial, will host a program on financial literacy. “Tipping the Scale Toward Financial Justice: Financial Literacy Then and Now” will explore the history of financial literacy as a means of empowering communities.  The one-hour program provided by Chief Financial Officer Cindy Lindsey and Universal Banker Sa’Sha Johnson of RVA Financial is free and open to the public.
