The Don S. McClure Show Live Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Success.

The Don S. McClure Show Live "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Success. Great Women that Inspire." In 1904 an African American Black Woman became the first woman in America to become President of her own bank, and it was a time that not one woman white or black had the right to vote. She gave a speech that I had the chance to read sixty-eight years later. The impact of her words left such an impression on me. To know that a Black Woman took on the America establishment with the words "they won't let you educate your children or save your own money in their banks much less attend their schools, in Virginia. But we together shall open the Penny Savings Bank and build our own factories, our own schools, our own Newspapers. And we will leave no one behind, not our children or our men. We will create jobs and prosperity and growth. The bank lasted 70 years surviving the stock crash of the nineteen-thirties when so many other white banks were falling.

She became a woman I could admire and show me the way to reach the histories of other powerful women I could respect and learn from — one of her famous quotes that guided my career in diversity marketing, supported financially by 18 of the most powerful companies in America. " "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Success."
