MADAM CJ WALKER


Madam Cj. Walker was born with the name Sarah Breedlove on December 23,

1867 on a Louisiana plantation, Walker was the daughter of former slaves but she

always dreamed of becoming more than just a slave. Because of her dedication

Walker transformed herself from an uneducated farm worker into of the twentieth

century's most successful women entrepreneurs.

After being orphaned at age seven, Walker and her older sister, Louvenia, survived

by working in the cotton fields of Delta and nearby Vicksburg, Mississippi. At 14

C.J. married a man named Moses McWilliams to escape abuse from her cruel

brother-in-law, Jesse Powell.

Her only daughter, Lelia was born on June 6, 1885. When her husband died two

years later, she moved to St. Louis to work with her four brothers who worked as

barbers. Working for as little as $1.50 a day, Walker managed to save enough

money to educate her daughter.

During the 1890s, C.J. began to suffer from a scalp condition that caused her to lose

most of her hair. She experimented with many homemade remedies and store-

bought products including those made by Annie Malone, another black woman

entrepreneur. In 1905 Sarah moved to Denver as a sales agent for Malone, then

married her third husband his name was Charles Joseph Walker, a St. Louis

newspaperman. After changing her name to Madam C. J. Walker, she started her

own business and began selling Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower, a scalp

conditioning and healing formula, which she said had been revealed to her in a

dream. Although many thought it to be true Walker did NOT invent the

straightening comb, this is only a misconception.

Later to promote her products, C.J. Walker traveled for a year and a half on a trip

throughout the heavily black South and Southeast, selling her products door to

door, demonstrating her scalp treatments in churches and inns, and creating a sales

pitch for her products. In 1908, she temporarily moved her base to Pittsburgh where

she opened Lelia College to train others her styling secrets and techniques.

By early 1910, Walker had moved to Indianapolis, which was then the nation's

largest inland manufacturing center, where she built a factory, hair and manicure

salon and another training school. Less than a year after she arrived, Walker made

national headlines in the black press when she donated $1,000 to the building fund

of the "colored" YMCA in Indianapolis.

In 1913, while Walker traveled to Central America and the Caribbean to expand

her business, her daughter A'Lelia, moved into a new townhouse in Harlem.

Walker herself moved to New York in 1916, leaving the day-to-day operations of the

Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company in Indianapolis to Ransom and Alice

Kelly, her factory forelady and a former school teacher. She continued to watch the

business and to run the New York office. Once in Harlem, she became involved in

Harlem's social and political life, especially the NAACP's anti-lynching movement

in which she contributed $5,000.

In July 1917, when a white mob murdered more than three dozen blacks in East St.

Louis, Illinois, Walker joined a group of Harlem leaders who visited the White

House to present a petition in federal anti-lynching legislation.

Also as her business continued to grow, Walker organized her agents into local and

state clubs. Her Madam C. J. Walker Hair Culturists Union of America convention

in Philadelphia in 1917 was one of the first national meetings of businesswomen in

the country. Walker used the gathering to reward her agents for their business

success, and to encourage their political acts as well

Walker died 1919 but by the time she died at her estate in New York, she had

helped create the role of the

20th Century, self-made American businesswoman; established herself as a pioneer

of the modern black hair-care and cosmetics industry and set standards in the

African-American community for community involvement in charities.

Walker that perseverance, faith in herself and in God, quality products and honest

business dealings were the elements and strategies she used to gain her important

status as an entrepreneurs.

Even after death Walkers legacy lives on. Madame Walker Theatre Center is

internationally known as a place where arts and

cultural heritage flourish. The Center is dedicated to

nurturing and celebrating the arts from an African-American perspective for cross-

cultural appreciation.

Constructed in 1927, the Madame Walker Theatre Center is a National Historic

Landmark built in tribute to its namesake, Madam C.J. Walker. The Center

includes the 350-person Casino Ballroom, often used for private celebrations and

corporate gatherings, and the 944 seat African theatre where beautiful

performances are presented to arts lovers throughout the community.

no1 forcing u to do this blossom but next time, keep it short like mines. anyway...

Maya Angelo
in my opinion, the greatest black female poet that lived and still alive, bless her soul. born in 1928 Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri, Angelou spent most of her childhood living with her grandmother in rural Arkansas. she grew up having a rough childhood. at age 5[i think], she was raped by her stepfather in detroit. that incident has tramatized her and the only person she would talk to is her brother bailey. after returning to her grandmother, she worked for a white woman who just called her mary. soon, she started to talk again thx to another woman who helped her.

She moved to her mother's home in San Francisco after graduating with honors from Lafayette County Training School in 1940. At the age of 16 she graduated from high school, gave birth to her son Guy, and began a series of jobs, including cooking and waiting tables. In the 1950s she became a nightclub performer and began careers as a singer, dancer, actor, playwright, magazine editor, civil rights activist, poet, and novelist. her most famous and read works are: 'And Still I Rise' and 'Phenomenal Woman'. she also marched in the million man march and someday, i hope to she her in person.

maya angelo is truly a Phenomenal Woman.
