When DC was being built & they couldn’t get white workers to come here, they used enslaved black workers to build the city. Blacks made up 30% of city’s population at founding, almost entirely enslaved. #DCProBono19

@StinsonLLP I believe @StinsonLLP worked with @TzedekDC on this consumer predatory lending case; they have a free luncheon and training next week at @KelleyDrye to learn more about #probono with them! #dcprobono19 #accesstojustice

Chocolate City authors chose the title because they are proud of the term and saw it as a term of endearment but many white editors warned them not to do it, that they’d be called racist. #DCProBono19

@StinsonLLP Credit union atty told White he had never received discovery in this type of case before. "While I didn't create significant precedent in predatory consumer lending cases, I made a big difference in these clients' lives" -- @StinsonLLP atty Steven White at #dcprobono19...
