Black History Month is upon us! I try to watch Roots all the way through every Feb. (unsuccessful thus far) but to help you do something positive during this special month we decided to provide you with a little information about some of the brave, innovative, and inspiring people that paved the way for us to be who and where we are today:
Madam C.J. Walker (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919), was an African-American businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur and philanthropist. She made her fortune by developing and marketing a hugely successful line of beauty and hair products for black women under the company she founded, Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company. At her death she was considered to be the wealthiest African-American woman in America and known to be the first self-made female American millionaire.
