If I recall correctly, it was founded in San Francisco in 1904 by an Italian immigrant to serve those who could not get standard banking services because of their race, and served the population after the 1906 earthquake.

Is it because of the merger with Nationsbank in 98?

the boycott has to be because of Nationsbank's past mergers
