“Power to the People” Cleveland Fed Exhibit Explores Regulatory Reform, Features Freedom Riders Portraits
Special Exhibit Opens March 26, Features Freedom Riders’ Portraits
Regulatory reform in our financial system is currently the focus of much public debate. Over the years, public activism has helped to shape many of the rules that we live by—from trust-busting in the Progressive Era to desegregating public transportation to enforcing truth in lending. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is presenting a special exhibit that explores how the public contributes to regulatory reform.
