By the time Sarah was in her late thirties, she was dealing with hair loss because of a combination of stress and damaging hair care products.

she was making ten dollars a day,and wanted to expand her work but her husband thought other wise,and then thats when they seperated


why would madam c j walker name her child "walker" if a'liela wasnt charles j walker daughter...



......Walker did not listen to her doctors' warnings that her fast-paced life was hurting her health. On May 25, 1919, when she was fifty-one years old, she died of hypertension (high blood pressure). Her funeral service was held in Mother Zion African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in New York City. Celebrated African American educator Mary McLeod Bethune (1875–1955) delivered the eulogy (a tribute), and Walker was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. Her daughter, Lelia, took over her role as president of the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company........
