Sylvester Jennings discussing the prosperity and mission of FSB

First State Bank

Though its name has changed, from the Savings Bank of Danville to First State Bank and to Movement Bank today, its mission is the same: to love and value people, to serve those who have been marginalized and mistreated and to lead a Movement of Change in this industry, corporate culture and our communities.

In our early years, First State Bank provided a financial footprint for its black customers.

It powered Danville’s black economy, becoming a launchpad for entrepreneurs needing startup capital for their businesses. It underpinned the town’s faith community, financing dozens of black churches. And in 1963, it played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement when it paid the bonds for nearly two dozen demonstrators jailed for protesting segregation.

“That was the mission statement, to serve the underserved people,” says 84-year-old Sylvesta Jennings, a former First State Bank president, and bank employee for more than 40 years. “Black people couldn’t go to the other banks and get the services they needed.”

resilience in the age of Jim Crow-enforced segregation

In 1919, if you lived in Danville, Va., you could be sure of three things: You would be born in a segregated hospital, educated in a segregated school system, buried in a segregated cemetery.

And if you were black in this small southern town dominated by textiles and tobacco, you could add this to the list: There was no place to deposit your money, no accounts to save your cash, no way to obtain a loan.

No access. No opportunity. No bank.

That is, until 21 black doctors, teachers, farmers and preachers started their own bank, our bank, in a church basement.

And while its beginnings were humble, this institution became much more than a bank. It was a symbol of economic independence and a totem of black economic resilience in the age of Jim Crow-enforced segregation. It flourished in a southern Virginia town hailed as the last capital of the Confederacy. And it will continue to be a beacon of strength and integrity for its customers for years to come.
