Two Walkers, Two Determined Spirits: The Legacies of Maggie L. Walker & Madam C. J. Walker Pioneers, Entrepreneurs, Millionaires, & Social Activists
Imagine two women, born within years of each other, living in different regions, with no blood ties. They faced a world with limited rights for women, compounded by the harsh realities of their race. Yet, they rewrote history and shattered barriers, rising to unprecedented heights. Who were these courageous women with determined spirits? We’re excited to welcome back Muqeedah Salaam as she returns with her Historically Correct lecture series, illuminating the lives of Maggie L. Walker, a banking pioneer, and Madam C. J. Walker, America’s first self-made female millionaire. Join us to discover their inspiring journeys!
