"An address to the 34th Annual Session of the Right Worthy Grand Council of Virginia, Independent Order of St.. Luke, held in 3rd Street A.M.E. Church"
the transcript can be found at http://www.nps.gov/malw/speech.htm

The first impression of Maggie L. Walker’s address is that it is poetic. It is the civil rights movement because it calls for a joining of men and women to unite for a single goal. She presents a valid argument for building and establishing a bank do that interest can be acquired along with other forms of municipal cash flows. She preaches a civil action about the good of her idea for the community not just a single person or set of people. Her proposition is presented through praise and resembles a mother bird pushing her baby bird from the nest to see if it will fly. She too is pushing her baby, the black community, from the nest, clutches of saving money in random cracks and crevices without collecting its full potential.
