#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.

Today we recognize and celebrate America’s “Second Independence Day,” Juneteenth. At GovEx, where we focus on putting data to work for the public good, we know that data was used to dehumanize Black Americans during slavery and that descendants of enslaved people have often been victimized by the unethical collection and application of data. We are committed to addressing structural and entrenched racism, recognizing the public sector’s role in perpetuating these legacies, and addressing these issues as a team and in collaboration with the cities we serve. This means examining analytical methods and data, actively working to eliminate bias, and advocating for data-driven policies that uplift Black Americans. For a list of data-related Juneteenth resources, check out this compilation from the ICPSR at University of Michigan Institute for Social Research → https://hubs.ly/Q02CsjXJ0

"-Marie Beecham As we celebrate today, we should also be looking ahead to ensure we are uplifting the voices who aren't usually heard. As Marie mentioned in her post, "Juneteenth teaches us something about victory and struggle; finished work and unfinished work'; triumphs and trials... we celebrate every step of progress that's made along the way." - uhm mic drop?! 🎤 This can be said for a lot of our work in Canada as well.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth - the oldest nationally/internationally observed commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This date celebrates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. And Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative is on the front line of this work. AWBI exists to make shared prosperity the Atlanta way by supporting the engagement, capacity, and leadership necessary to build Black wealth in Atlanta and across the South. Our research has found that the most popular definition of wealth for Black Atlantans is freedom. And so we are working to nurture a thriving environment that supports the development of policies and programs that promote the complete freedom of Black people to grow and maintain wealth.
