Today, the National Bankers Association released the following statement on the Derek Chauvin verdict:

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously quoted Theodore Parker when he said that ‘the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.’

“Today in Minneapolis, that long arc bent a little more towards justice. The National Bankers Association and our members continue to grieve with George Floyd’s family and community, and we call on our allies to continue to work with us as we work to eliminate the racial wealth gap in America.”
