Madame C.J. Walker

In honor of Black History Month, I thought I'd post some of my fave videos, etc. that I will be using in classes. I LOVE this one and know you will, too! What a pioneer for not only African Americans AND women AND those raised in poverty, but for business people of all backgrounds, as well. 

You can also check out the official Madame C.J. Walker website at:

    Dear Ms. Shultz,
    Thank you very much for featuring Madam C. J. Walker. Like you, I love that video and the whimsical animation.
    As Walker's great-great-granddaughter and biographer–and as president of the Walker Family Archives–I’m always thrilled when others are inspired by her story. Today our family keeps Madam Walker’s legacy alive through the Walker Theatre Center, a National Historic Landmark in Indianapolis; through our books and speeches; through honoring successful entrepreneurs; and through our Walker Family Archive of photographs, letters, business documents and personal items that belonged to Madam Walker and her daughter, A’Lelia Walker. I hope you’ll have a chance to visit our websites.
