Requests:  0 Summary:  "Founder of a beauty empire, Madam C. J. Walker was celebrated as America's first self-made female millionaire in the early 1900s. Known as a leading African American entrepreneur, Walker was also devoted to an activist philanthropy aimed at empowering African Americans and challenging the injustices inflicted by Jim Crow. Tyrone McKinley Freeman's biography highlights how giving shaped Walker's life before and after she became wealthy. Poor and widowed when she arrived in St. Louis in her twenties, Walker found mentorship among black churchgoers and working black women. Her adoption of faith, racial uplift, education, and self-help soon informed her dedication to assisting black women's entrepreneurship, financial independence, and activism. Walker embedded her philanthropy in how she grew her business, forged alliances with groups like the National Association of Colored Women, funded schools and social service agencies led by African American women, and enlisted her company's sales agents in local charity and advocacy work. Illuminating and dramatic, Madam C.J. Walker's Gospel of Giving broadens our understanding of black women's charitable giving and establishes Walker as a foremother of African American philanthropy"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.76685 Walker Fr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76685 Walker Fr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Walker Fr Women's History Display/BIOGRAPHY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76685 Walker Fr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76685 Walker Fr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.76685 Walker Fr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
