Scholars/College Level
Welcome to the Official Madam C. J. Walker website. If you are conducting scholarly research about Walker for books or college level courses, you will find the detailed endnotes and comprehensive bibliography in A’Lelia Bundles’s On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker very helpful. The Madam Walker Family Archives is the largest private collection of Walker photographs, primary source letters and business records, furniture and artifacts. A’Lelia Bundles. Madam Walker’s great-great-granddaughter and biographer, will be happy to assist you with your research. Contact her at ABundles@gmail.com
We also are interested in hearing from anyone who includes On Her Own Ground in a college level reading list or who is teaching about Madam Walker or her daughter, A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance.
