Madam C.J. Walker was suffering from poverty and hair loss when she decided to concoct a hair regrowth lotion to heal her damaged scalp. Fast forward a handful of years and millions of dollars later, Walker was leading one of the most successful, and philanthropic, cosmetic companies to date.

She then identifies social needs and manages to promote good people. All of this while raising a family alone, and as a black woman!!! Even now that would be almost impossible.

It wasn't a white woman who stole anything from her. The truth is that CJ Walker was a student of Annie Malone. Another black woman. Annie started Poro College. I wouldn't say 'stolen' but Walker took what she learned from Annie Malone. Walker got the historical recognition that should have been given to Annie Malone.

@SpankBuda - 1. Madam CJ Walker also dabbled in politics. I think she would be FABULOUS on a 20 dollar bill! She took lemons and made lemonade! 1. Straightening the hair with heated combs was the norm back in the day. The women would feel more appealing to black men also. Wearing the natural look, afro's and braids, would come in the 60's and 70's. 2. Rerun the video. Her first product healed the sores on her scalp and helped to grow back her hair. It did not change the texture of her hair. So this was very beneficial to all women who had dandruff, etc..

Madam C.J. Walker is a person worthy of accolades , however she was not the first Self-made female millionaire, that honor goes to Annie Turnbo Malone. she was Madam C.J. Walkers mentor. Malone was an , entrepreneur, educator, inventor, cosmetologist and philanthropist, known for giving millions of dollars to hbcu's , other organizations and African America causes. Malone sponsored two student scholarships at every hbcu she was the founder of Poro College she trained Madam C.J. Walker to be a cosmetologist and "Poro Agent, also Chuck Berry. Malone was the first to patent a hot comb, Madame CJ Walker improved it. Malone has been grossly over looked and deserves her rightful place in history.

@wwstarks1 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment .I can only base it on information on what I have researched . My point is that Malone deserves credit for her contribution to the global community Some time ago l read of Annie Malone felt she had been grossly overlooked by being omitted from our history books, like so many of our melaninated people . they both are worthy of recognition I believe we can learn from their greatness. Hopefully our youths can see them as great examples.

Jane Ryan-Douglas, Sorry but you are wrong about Madam C.J. Walker. Madam C.J. Walker never made a million dollar from her business durning her life. She died with only 300k or 500k in her bank account. Her business did make a million after her death. You can read this in a book I just finish called Black Fortunes. Annie Turnbo Malone never got the recognition she deserved, but she was the first black female in the USA to become a millionaire.

They continue appropriating black ideas. Why? We blacks are so disorganized, self hating, and distrustful of each other. Too many of us don't want to be black and believe whites are our friends. They aren't. We have no friends and refuse to be friends to ourselves. We also won't support each other. Did you know that Ghana and Nigeria were making their own automobiles engines included? The Ghanaian car is Called KANTANKA and the one made in Nigeria is called INNOSON. Kenyans are also making their own car. IN Ghana and Nigeria these are black Africans designing and building these cars. A white Kenyan is in charge in Kenya although the factory is run by blacks. Guess what? In Ghana and Nigeria the blacks are still buying foreign cars. Solve that one.

Miss Walker was a very savvy business woman who capitalized on a market that Avon ignored or refused to serve when they started in 1886. Any woman, let alone a daughter of a slave, who started a business on her own in the late 19th century showed resilience, bravery and fortitude. It's sad that the sulfur she worked with for so many years was likely the cause of her kidney disease.

I see many comments stating, "Why wasn't this taught in school?" It depends on the school and what decade you went to school. Let me tell you where I learned about her. I learned from JET magazine. Back in the 80's they used to feature someone of color that did something special. If you were Black in my hometown, you subscribed to JET magazine. I remember when She was featured, my hairdresser talked about the article in the shop. Just another note, I used to do proof reading on State Exams before they were sent to schools, and they frequently used stories of American people of color who did something fascinating. They featured someone who lived in that schools state. So, if your kids get tests from a certain company, they include interesting readings like Madame CJ Walker.

Madam C.J Walker was an extremely intelligent woman, not everyone is able to discover a working formula like she did. It is not just taking this and that, she actually used her brains and even if she had no schools behind her, she was apparently a greatly educated lady who was even able to grow up her business that way she did. I wouldn't be surprised if this was kind of a starter to the home parties for selling cosmetics and other products, that is what she did, she employed ladies to go door to door demonstrating to the women showing on them how it worked. I think the world is due much more credits to her than there exist.

Beautiful. I would like the movie to include something about her mentor and teacher, Anne Malone. Madame C.J. Walker attended Anne Malone's beauty university in Saint Louis, MO

Necessity is the mother of invention. That means where there is a need, someone will think to invent what's needed to cure the problem.

Amazing story. This is what our children should be learning about. I myself had medicine just like this to grow my hair back. Amazing information

Of course they should be learning about this in school. Not only Walker, but Major Taylor, Dr. Williams, Monroe Trotter, Malcolm X, Josiah Montgomery, Elizabeth Reckley, and so many others.

Why is everyone giving her credit when she literally ripped off Annie Turnbo Malone from Metropolis Illinois????? Annie was the first woman to get a million from manufacturing. The 13 year old inherited hers.

The movie on netflix told the truth and gave annie her credit.

There should be a movie brought to the silver screen about her to educate the new generation & the rest of the world who may have forgotten about her, of her success & all that she contributed to the African-American race!!!
