Industrial Bank of Washington, African American Heritage Trail

Location

Marked with a plaque

2000 11th Street, NW

Washington, DC, 20001

See map: Google Maps The Industrial Bank of Washington stands as a testament to the black business movement that began in the 1880s in downtown Washington and spread to the U Street area by the 1900s. The bank was founded in 1913 by laborer and entrepreneur John Whitelaw Lewis as the Industrial Savings Bank. It first opened at 2006 11th Street, NW, in the Laborers' Building and Loan Association building, which was designed by Sidney W. Pittman and built by Lewis. (It has been razed.) A few years later the bank moved to its current building, which was financed and built by Lewis, and designed by Isaiah T. Hatton. When it opened, Industrial Bank was the only black-owned bank in the city. In 1932 the bank was forced to close, as were many others, because of the national financial crisis that caused the Great Depression.
Jesse Mitchell, a Howard University Law School graduate (class of 1907), reopened the bank as the Industrial Bank of Washington in 1934. After his death in 1955, his son, B. Doyle Mitchell, Sr., assumed leadership of the bank. Industrial Bank remains a family-owned business.

Excerpt:

The Founding Fathers' Agrarian Prejudice is Causing America's Decline

Our founding fathers hated cities. Many of them were slave-owners and felt that only people who had held this kind of responsibility should be allowed to vote. So they created -- through the Electoral College system and the Senate -- a semi-democracy that proportionally disenfranchises people who live in highly populated areas.

A general article, in military law, sometimes called "the Devil's Article", is a legal provision that authorizes punishment of military personnel on grounds that are less specific as to the particulars of the offense and as to the punishment, compared to most crimes in modern West European law. The offenses are likely to reflect the effect on the military and its mission than the form the offender's behavior takes, or to be stated in terms of established customs of warfare.

Excerpt:
AMC and Regal see an opportunity to extend traditional film distribution as it has been left untended by the major studios. Regal is a huge chain with 6,000 screens  theaters; AMC , the second-largest chain in the country, has more than 5,000 screens in its network.
The new distribution company does not intend to restrict distribution to its own exhibitor-owners, and have hired Ortenberg as a credible executive with vast experience in the world of indie cinema.
I ran into Ortenberg at the Spirit Awards a week ago, and he explained that there will be a clear separation between his distribution entity (which at the time didn’t have a name) and any exhibition work at AMC and Regal.
The two chains are owned respectively by JP Morgan, hedge fund Apollo Management, and the Carlyle Group, and the latter by Philip Anschutz. Lee Solomon, the former COO of The Weinstein Company, has been instrumental in making the deal, recruiting Ortenberg – a former Weinstein executive – and helping secure the credit facility.

realignment of society.
And global warming? That link started at a conference in 1975 in the US organised by the anthropologist Margaret Mead, 1974 president of the AAAS.

"Global Warming" is, and always was, a policy for genocidal reduction of the world’s population. The preposterous claim that human-produced carbon dioxide will broil the Earth, melt the ice caps, and destroy human life, came out of a 1975 conference in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, organized by the influential anthropologist Margaret Mead, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in 1974.
