In 1913, while Walker traveled to Central America and the Caribbean to expand her
business, her daughter A’Lelia, moved into a fabulous new Harlem townhouse and
Walker Salon, designed by African American architect, Vertner W. Tandy, who had
designed St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church in Harlem and was the first licensed black
architect in New York State. “There is nothing to equal it,” she wrote to her attorney, F.
B. Ransom. “Not even on Fifth Avenue.”
Madam also decided to build herself a country home, a mansion- not just for herself but
as an example to her race. Tandy designed for Walker exactly the home she wanted: a
show place where she could rest and listen to music and fill up the rooms with her
friends and give mixed-race parties. She could hold significant meetings there to be
attended by prominent people from the worlds of politics, business, and the arts. In
February 1917, ground was broken, and by the time Walker moved in the next
summer, the estate had been given a name by her friend the Italian tenor Enrico
CarusoVilla Lewaro, for the first two letter of each of her daughter Lelia Walker
Robinson’s names.

This was not trivial. My initial guess about the plantations (after having solved the third
question first) led me absolutely nowhere. I did learn about Absalom Winfrey and the
five generations of Oprah's ancestors though. Alex Sissoev

the home of Madam(e) C.J. Walker, the first African-American millionairess. Oprah
Winfrey was the 1st African-American billionairess (I spent some time Googling
'mansion + Oprah Winfrey' but got nowhere so chose a different tack). This quiz was
appropriate for February as it is African-American history month. :) I found this page

heard of Madam Walker before, so this was an interesting quiz to me; even found a
website that still sells her hair care products: http://www.madamewalker.net/ though
the prices are quite steep! Nicole Blank

Oprah Winfrey is a self-made African-American woman billionaire, but adjusting for
inflation she would be a mere millionaire in Madam Walker's day. The architect [of
Lewaro], Vertner Woodson Tandy, was the first registered African-American architect
in New York State (or in the United States; accounts vary). Herschel Browne

If my answers are right, this was one of the easier puzzles. I googled "This Place

of the sites was pictures of lots of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Flipped
through a couple - and voila! I was actually familiar with Madame Walker because of

Doley attended segregated schools in the Louisiana area before matriculating at Xavier University in New Orleans where he majored in Accounting and Business Administration and started an investment club. He graduated from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business’s Owner/President Management Program an Executive Education Program. Doley began his career as a stock trader working for Bache & Company Inc., a brokerage house in New Orleans in 1968 immediately after graduating from Xavier University. In 1973, he borrowed $90,000 and bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Although there were two other African American firms holding seats on the exchange, Doley's move brought him national attention and with it an ever growing client portfolio. In 1975, Doley founded his own firm, Doley Securities, LLC. Undaunted by those critics who said white people wouldn’t give money to an investment company founded by an African American, Doley proved them wrong by consistently making his clients wealthy. Doley also managed the merger of several National Insurance Association companies and helped found the Republic National Bank and later became the largest stockholder of the United Bank before its merger. An active Republican, Doley's success attracted the attention of the Ronald Reagan Administration. In 1981 he was named the Founding Director of the Minerals Management Service of the United States Department of Interior. Under Doley, Minerals Management became the second largest income source to the United States Government. Two years later President Reagan appointed Doley as the American Ambassador to the Ivory Coast. He was also named Executive Director of the African Development Bank a multi-lateral development institution, a sister institution of the World Bank. Serving as Executive Director, Doley developed the structure that increased the AFDB’s capital by more than 300%. Upon his return to the United States in 1985, Doley continued his African development work by founding the U.S.-Africa Chamber of Commerce to increase trade between African nations and the United States. In the early 1990’s, Doley and his wife, Helena, purchased the Madam CJ Walker Estate, Villa Lewaro. The Villa is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. |

Orphaned at age seven, she and her older sister, Louvenia, survived by working in the
cotton fields of Delta and nearby Vicksburg, Mississippi. At 14, she married Moses
McWilliams to escape abuse from her cruel brother-in-law, Jesse Powell.
Her only daughter, Lelia (later known as A’Lelia Walker) was born on June 6, 1885.
When her husband died two years later, she moved to St. Louis to join her four
brothers who had established themselves as barbers. Working for as little as $1.50 a
day, she managed to save enough money to educate her daughter in the city’s public
schools. Friendships with other black women who were members of St. Paul A.M.E.
Church and the National Association of Colored Women exposed her to a new way of
viewing the world.
During the 1890s, Sarah began to suffer from a scalp ailment that caused her to lose
most of her hair. She experimented with many homemade remedies and store-bought
products, including those made by Annie Malone, another black woman entrepreneur.
In 1905 Sarah moved to Denver as a sales agent for Malone, then married her third
husband, Charles Joseph Walker, a St. Louis newspaperman. After changing her name
to “Madam” C. J. Walker, she founded her own business and began selling Madam
Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower, a scalp conditioning and healing formula, which she

Company in Indianapolis to Ransom and

social and political life, taking special
interest in the NAACP’s anti-lynching
movement to which she contributed
$5,000.

In July 1917, when a white mob
murdered more than three dozen blacks in
East St. Louis, Illinois, Walker joined a
group of Harlem leaders who visited the White House to present a petition advocating
federal anti-lynching legislation.
As her business continued to grow, Walker organized her agents into local and state
clubs. Her Madam C. J. Walker Hair Culturists Union of America convention in
Philadelphia in 1917 must have been one of the first national meetings of
businesswomen in the country. Walker used the gathering not only to reward her
agents for their business success, but to encourage their political activism as well.
“This is the greatest country under the sun,” she told them. “But we must not let our
love of country, our patriotic loyalty cause us to abate one whit in our protest against
wrong and injustice. We should protest until the American sense of justice is so aroused
that such affairs as the East St. Louis riot be forever impossible.”
By the time she died at her estate, Villa Lewaro, in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York,
she had helped create the role of the 20th Century, self-made American
businesswoman; established herself as a pioneer of the modern black hair-care and
cosmetics industry; and set standards in the African-American community for
corporate and community giving. Tenacity and perseverance, faith in herself and in
federal anti-lynching legislation.

Villa Lewaro in Irvington, New York is a National

Walker from 1918 to 1919, believed to be the first
female, and first African-American, self-made

house designed for Walker by Vertner Tandy, the first
registered African-American architect and was
constructed during 1916-1918 at an estimated cost of
$250,000, a fortune at the time. The name Villa
