Wells Fargo Meets Goal to Lend $1 Billion to African American Small Business Owners Two Years Early
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Recognizing the vitality of African American small business owners throughout the nation, Wells Fargo & Company said Sunday it has reached its goal, set in 1998, to lend $1 billion to African American business owners nationwide by 2010. A new multi-year lending goal will be announced later this year.
Wells Fargo is celebrating the achievement this year with a number of events, including screenings of the film, “Two Dollars and a Dream” (written and directed by Stanley Nelson and distributed by Filmmakers Library), about Madame C.J. Walker, America’s first self-made millionairess. The film illustrates the history of successful entrepreneurship in the African American community. “Two Dollars and a Dream” was shown February 17 during the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, and additional screening events are being planned throughout the year across the country.
