Gale force : Gale Cincotta, the battles for disclosure and community investment

Michael Westgate (Author), Ann Vick-Westgate (Contributor)
"Gale Cincotta was one of this country's greatest organizers and activists. Called the mother of community reinvestment, she led the attack on redlining, community disinvestment and predatory lending, resulting in two groundbreaking measures, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which broke the back of housing discrimination throughout the nation. Tough, feisty and courageous - characteristics in short supply these days - she was a force of nature with a human heart."-- Provided by publisher
