Her parents were sharecroppers. She was orphaned at seven, married at 14, and employed as a maid and washerwoman. Was it stress that caused her to begin losing her hair in her twenties? We may never know for sure, but what we do know is that the problem set Sarah Breedlove on a path that would bring her tremendous wealth and influence among African American women.
In this unit, kids take a deep dive into the life of the woman said to be one of the first female African American millionaires in the United States. They’ll discover how and why she took the name “Madam C.J. Walker” as her own, and how intelligence, creativity, commitment, marketing know-how, and sheer guts worked together to create a nationwide market for Madam Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower, a product whose namesake endures to this day.
Kids will surely be inspired by the many C.J. Walker quotes; while those who are visually oriented will appreciate the memorable images of early 20th century America; and history aficionados will want to discover how Walker’s story interfaces with issues of race and gender. Capping it all is a narrative of innovation and success built one commitment at a time. Not to be missed.
