Local Black-owned banks are urging African-Americans throughout
Los Angeles to participate in "Change Bank Day." (ed. note: this
is an ongoing effort).

Carlton Jenkins, president of the Founders National Bank, said he
and other bank officials are urging African-Americans to switch
their accounts to one of five Black-owned banks or credit
unions "to become more fully engaged in recycling their dollars in
the spirit of the 'Million Man March.'"

"It's time for us to be responsive and fully committed," Jenkins
said. "It's done in the Asian community very, very well and we want
to take it to that level."

"We're just trying to get people to react and be proactive," he said,
"and we plan to do it [again] as an ongoing effort to keep people 
focused.
