Description
No margin—no mission… What does it take to bring financial justice to communities of color? Cliff Rosenthal, shaped by the movements of the 1960s, fought for decades against government indifference and systemic bias—finally seeing change come after the death of George Floyd. A renowned whistleblower, Michael McCray led an unprecedented court challenge to the unjust federal termination of his fraternity's Kappa Alpha Psi Federal Credit Union. Community Capital presents the inside story of the landmark KAPFCU v NCUA federal court case.
Clifford Rosenthal is more co-conspirator than ally in the minority focused, low- income based, community development credit union movement. Michael McCray is a virtual credit union organizer turned NCUA whistleblower. Together they document their quest for community capital and financial equity while challenging government overreach, abuse and excess. These stories will inspire all those working to fulfill the promise of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the financial system. This fascinating memoir is a modern-day Rules for Radicals—for Credit Unions.

Advance Praise
Injustice, whether by public or private organizations, always targets the most vulnerable first. NCUA’s summary closing and liquidation of Kappa Alpha Psi FCU is an essential case study of unchecked regulatory power against one of the oldest black college fraternities in America.
—Charles Filson, former CEO, National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund
Michael and Cliff are eyewitnesses, but they’re also the protagonists of Community Capital, restless in their need to build institutions and com- pel systems to serve Black, brown, and low-income people. But their real superpowers lie in their ability to navigate and confront oppressive bureaucracy, with Cliff viewing it on a more macro level, and Michael operating on the micro.
—From the foreword by Mark Winston Griffith, Co-Executive Director of Free Speech TV
