Born to former slaves in the Louisiana Delta in the aftermath of the Civil War, married at fourteen, and widowed at twenty, Walker spent the first decades of her life as a laundress. By the time of her death in 1919, however, Walker had refashioned herself into one of the most famous African American figures in the nation: the owner and president of a hair-care empire and a philanthropist wealthy enough to own a country estate near the Rockefellers in the prestigious New York town of Irvington-on-Hudson. -- adapted from back of book   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.48896 Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48896 Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48896 Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48896 Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 305.48896 Walker Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
