In this answer from @JoshuaPoe_Lou he directly connects citizenship to property rights and ownership: thus the denial of one is the denial of the other. https://twitter.com/joshuapoe_lou/status/1254458475163332613">https://twitter.com/joshuapoe...
Today, we tend to think of property as real estate, and it is, but do bear in mind that for hundreds of years, “property” was that of human bodies and the labor they produced. #unbanked
But the ties are closer than you think. Slaves were also used as collateral for #mortgages. You can learn more about that here: https://www.brown.edu/academics/history/sites/academics-history/files/images/Caldwell%20Final%20Thesis%202-2.pdf">https://www.brown.edu/academics...

In 1968 with the passing of the Fair Housing Act, blacks had 41% home ownership.

This next question from @BlackAmCaucus asks directly who the #unbanked and #unhoused are, which as I’ve shared before (Re housing) is majority black.
40% of overall homeless and 52% of homeless families are black. https://twitter.com/blackamcaucus/status/1254459570451251200">https://twitter.com/blackamca...
