Hi Ralph – don’t forget the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History…about 14 years ago, SITES did a traveling exhibition titled “The Real McCoy:  African American Inventors” and Madame C.J. Walker was prominently featured in one of the sections.  The Greensboro Historical Museum hosted the exhibit while I was there and as I recall, there were several products of Madame Walker. 

 

Hope all is well in Sunny Louisiana!  Best, VivianLea
