Note: We asked J.P. Morgan for comment on our story, and they told us that in response to Emily Flitter's reporting they have made efforts to improve internal culture, revamping policies around diversity and inclusion. And this week a bank spokesperson also told the New York Times that J.P. Morgan "has committed to making sustainable, long-term systemic change to help close the racial wealth gap and fight racial inequality. We are tracking investments and initiatives to ensure they are making a significant impact.”
