“Your First Duty Is to Humanity” – Echoes of Derrick Bell in Madam C. J. Walker’s Activism and Entrepreneurship

A’Lelia Bundles, biographer and great-great-granddaughter of early 20th century entrepreneur Madam C. J. Walker, will discuss how Walker’s political activism and philanthropy informed her mindset of economic independence. As a journalist who links history and current events, she will examine the relationship of Walker’s advocacy of generational wealth for her sales agents to the systemic and structural racism that Derrick Bell revealed in Faces at the Bottom of the Well.
