The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s marked an important social event in American History. A decade after the abolishment of slavery of African Americans, African Americans have yet to receive equal social, political, and economic opportunities when compared to whites and minorities.

We decided that Bank of America should focus on all the aspects of sustainability meaning they should have a strong role in being environmentally friendly, they should be socially sustainable, and should be economically sustainable. In our research, we looked at two major things: the process of any company becoming sustainable and how a bank should become sustainable in the financial world. We then decided the exact tasks that we want Bank of America to do and began more research on each specific area.
