    Perfect video to share with my students. We’ve just been talking about the Progressive Era and Women’s Rights. Also this year we’ve been improving our curriculum to include more African-American history, so this is PERFECT! She was also the basis for the Netflix movie “Self-Made.”

      History is great but public schools shouldn’t be biased in anyway regarding what is or isn’t taught. Nothing is going to socially achieved following the media narratives

      @@JB-vt5sz I’ve been teaching for 20 years, and I can tell you, this isn’t “following media” it’s teaching a more complete story of the American experience. Honestly, as someone who, until about ten years ago, was a “traditional” history teacher (meaning the history we’d all been taught) adding in all these stories makes the greater American story much broader and more complete. For example, ten years ago, I was considered “cutting edge” for teaching about Alice Paul, this year, my class has added in Ida B Wells in our study of the passage of the 19th Amendment. To give a more complete understanding of American history.

      It is a very good show. And very accurate. One reason her family disapproved was because the truth came out that she didn't create the formula herself though she wanted everyone to believe she did. She improved on something that was already out there that was created by another black woman.

We all need each other and we need to treat others with kindness and compassion, especially the less fortunate. We are #StrongerTogether.

He worked for Henry Ford at his Highland Park plant until he retired. My Grandfather always told us your life is what you make it. Don't let fear stop you, and if you work hard you can make anything happen. Madam C.J. Walker didn't let fear stop her, she knew what she wanted and worked for it.

    JD, Great job as always! This is the sort of Black success story that should be promoted with fervor during Black History Month. Ms. Walker worked WITHIN the White dominated US Capitalist system and succeeded through her own hardwork and determination. Hurrah for her! She didn't use violence rather her own sweat, toil and clearly high intelligence to succeed. She is the sort of person we should hold up as an example for all of Americans, Black and White, for her perseverance despite so many hurdles!
    I took away a lesson for all who blame the "system" for their lack of success and a role model for dreamers who will not allow their dreams to be defeated by self-pity. This is a story for all people, regardless of color, gender, education!

    Not to in anyway take away from the story of a very gutsy lady ,the woman acting out that skit said lye soap is bad for your skin. Granted it is not as everyday as it was in that era and before. But lye soap is very effective in cleaning,not only clothes and household surfaces but you can wash a baby in it. The lye is neutralized in the saponification process. It has also been making a comeback. I like it. I had heard of Mrs. Walker before and a very inspiring woman. She had a great need and an idea of how to make something people wanted. That makes money. She did well.

    A few things you left out...she stole hair products from one of her washing client, to sell on the streets, to prove she could. When the washing client told her that she wasn't going to hire her, CJ stole her product idea, and made it her own. She even used stolen product to perfect the recipe.

      Thanks! I pull the music from several sources. Epidemic sound is a really good one.

    Her story should be taught more. I honestly only heard of her maybe a year or so ago.

    The school had a great lockdown procedure but maybe schools can have panic rooms or something like it in all the hallways so kids caught in the halls or bathrooms when their classrooms lock have somewhere to go.

    There’s a documentary on Netflix I believe. It’s very good. I wish I could remember the name of the documentary. Google her name and it should come up.

      "Self Made" is the name of the limited series on Netflix, starring Octavia Spencer.

      Yeah, I didn't mention that in the video because the family had a pretty low opinion of how they handled Walker's story.
