You might want to contact C.J. Walker's great-great-granddaughter, A'Lelia
P. Bundles (Radcliffe Class of 1974 and board president of the Radcliffe
Association), who published a biography, "On Her Own Ground: The Life and
Times of Madam C.J. Walker" (Scribner, A Lisa Drew Book). She lives in
Alexandria, VA or you could contact her via her publisher. She has loaned
artifacts to Harvard/Radcliffe.
