Today our Black History Month feature on the impact of five legendary figures from the fields of wealth, investment management and personal finance is live on Financial Planning. Here's a link and a plea to anyone who may have known June Middleton to get in touch. She was, by the available accounts, the first African American woman registered as a stockbroker: https://lnkd.in/gf2dNNpq She would go on to become a lawyer, a small business coach, an educator and the host of an eclectic TV show. It appears she died within the past few years. For a person who made history, it's unfortunate that there isn't more information out there widely about her life, her experiences in the industry and what led her to go another direction at some point. I'm sure there's a lot there that could be interesting to current and aspiring professionals in the field. If there is anyone out there who may have known her or her family, please get in touch with me so we can find out more and share the fuller story with our audience all year round. Connect with me or email me at tobias dot salinger AT arizent dot com. Plus, here's a link to the full feature, with profiles of Middleton, Gerald B. Smith, LeCount R Davis, Sr., Maggie Lena Walker and Stanley O'Neal and insights from Cedric Nash of the Black Wealth Summit on why trailblazers are so important to the next generation of investors and professionals: https://bit.ly/3SN5QVL #blackhistorymonth #legends #investing

African Americans who left major legacies in wealth management, finance and business haven’t received their due, according to Cedric Nash, founder of the Black Wealth Summit. “I think that we need to know more about these folks and the impact that they've had,” Nash said in an interview. “I think they need to become household names.” In honor of Black History Month, here’s a look at legends from multiple fields whose stories from yesterday may hold part of the key to the industry’s moral and business imperatives of tomorrow. #wealthmanagement #investing #personalfinance
