You may have seen the inspiring and powerful story of Madam C. J. Walker on Netflix. The series depicts her journey from being born to freed slaves to becoming the first woman, and first African American self-made millionaire. This book digs deeper than the show and presents an in-depth look at her “Gospel of Giving”, “Black Women’s Philanthropy during Jim Crow”. Generosity brings hope, both to the giver and the receiver and this is the lesson of Madam C. J. Walker. She was greatly influenced by her AME church family, particularly the women’s groups, to begin sharing in her early years, with small gifts. She continued to give throughout her life, through her beauty business by training, educating, employing and empowering black women at a time when it was difficult for African American women to find employment. She also gave monetary gifts to the NAACP, anti-lynching programs, schools, the first black YMCA and many other institutions. Giving brought joy to Madam C. J. Walker. So did the opportunity to be a “race lifter”, by reinforcing black potential and leadership. A lowly washer woman, she achieved worldly success, while always following her “gospel of giving”. I found this book to be interesting and I learned a great deal. The book is presented as scholarly research, which is important. We can learn about the horrors of Jim Crow, the development of African American business and philanthropy by looking at the life of Madam C. J. Walker. Thanks to NetGalley and University of Illinois Press for an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
