The recent settlement involving TD Bank, where the institution paid over $3 billion to avoid prison time for laundering hundreds of millions tied to drug trafficking, exposes the glaring double standard in America’s justice system.

This disparity highlights how corporations are shielded from the consequences that ordinary people face and points to the need for education and financial literacy in our communities, as Dr. Amos Wilson emphasized, to avoid the systemic exploitation that traps so many.
