Gypsy,
I had started on this one, but the names got past me.
Thanks for the link. Just the summary in the Obama file is “chilling”

Citibank Federal Savings Bank
In a 1995 case known as Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank, Obama and his fellow attorneys charged that Citibank was making too few loans to black applicants and won the case. As one commentator noted in May 2008, legal "successes" such as this were probably responsible for the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2007 AND 2008. That is, banks were not loaning to blacks whose credit was poor. When the law forced them to lend money anyway,
the inevitable collapse occurred."
