In celebration of National Financial Literacy Month, OneUnited Bank, the nation’s largest Black-owned bank, is proud to announce its annual “I Got Bank!” national financial literacy contest, where 10 children will win a $1,000 savings account. The bank is offering a free “I Got Bank” E-Book to make financial literacy a core value of the Black community.
Students from across the country between the ages of eight and 12 are encouraged to read a financial literacy book of their choosing and either write a 250-word essay or create an art project showing how they would apply what they learned from the book to their daily lives. Submissions must be emailed or postmarked by June 28, 2024. The bank will choose 10 winners and award each winner a $1,000 savings account at OneUnited.
“When an online submission is made before June 28, 2024, you will have access to a one-of-a-kind custom digital edition Black Panther Comic Book that was created by Marvel Comics and Visa, Inc. and includes financial literacy exercises developed by OneUnited Bank,” according to OneUnited
Teri Williams, OneUnited Bank’s president and author of “I Got Bank! What My Granddad Taught Me About Money,” wrote the book after finding that there weren’t enough books geared toward educating urban youth about finances.
“In 2022, we launched the OneTransaction Podcast to encourage our community to focus on one transaction to close the wealth gap for their family,” states Williams.
“Our contest and free e-book encourage families to teach their children how to build wealth and make financial literacy a core value in the Black community!”
“I Got Bank! What My Granddad Taught Me About Money” is published by The Beckham Publications Group, Inc. (Beckhamhouse).

Soon, the world will meet a new Clark Kent in Superman. (Formerly titled Superman: Legacy). DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are rebooting the most famous superhero in the world as they transition the franchise from the DCEU to the DCU. Who will play the Man of Steel on the big screen this time around? What kind of story will we see him in? And who will bring it to life? We’re keeping track of all these answers and more. Here’s everything we know about Superman so far.
Title
The DCU’s first official movie (though not its first official release) is now titled simply Superman. Of course, the movie began its life as Superman: Legacy. It will kick off the film side of what James Gunn has called the franchise’s first chapter, “Gods and Monsters.” He has also called this movie “the true beginning” of the DCU.
Superman‘s Plot
While the film still has no official synopsis, Warner Bros. did provide a description of what we can expect from the story, which James Gunn says is not an origin tale.
Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
Gunn announced the film with art from the cover of All-Star Superman by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely. Whether or not that means the story is influenced, inspired by, or adapted from the 12-issue comic series in any way is unclear. What Gunn has said is the movie will focus on “an earlier part of Superman’s life,” where he is still old enough to already be working for the Daily Planet.
Superman‘s Cast
David Corenswet will play Superman, while Rachel Brosnahan will play Lois Lane.
In addition, four more actors have joined the cast of Superman. Isabela Merced will play Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi will play Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion will play Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Anthony Carrigan will play Metamorpho. María Gabriela de Faría will play the villain The Engineer in the movie. Also known as Angela Spica, the character has nanotechnology built into her body. Additionally, Sara Sampaio will play Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo will play Jimmy Olsen, and Wendell Pierce will play The Daily Planet boss Perry White. James Gunn has also confirmed that Nicholas Hoult will play Lex Luthor.
Pruitt Taylor Vince (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will play Jonathan Kent, a.k.a. Pa Kent.
Behind the Scenes
James Gunn wrote the (definitely completed) script and is directing.
Superman‘s Release Date
Superman will soar into theaters faster than a speeding bullet on July 11, 2025.
