Villages NW Board member Jurie Lewis discovered that Bernard Garrett was a great uncle of hers. She has looked into the story and will share what she has learned about her amazing relative and his incredible enterprise.
In the 1960s Bernard Garrett devised an audacious and risky plan to take on the racist establishment by helping other African Americans pursue the American dream. His plan succeeded despite many vigorous challenges and over the years he and his associates built a very successful business in real estate and banking. Bernard died in 2019 and the amazing story of his enterprise has been made into a movie,
The Banker
,
with Apple TV. An interesting trailer [
The Banker Trailer - YouTube]
will give you a preview of the movie.
