Please join me for an illustrated virtual talk about Madam C. J. Walker and A’Lelia Walker’s lives with vintage photos from my Madam Walker Family Archives. I’ll talk about architecture and preservation with a focus on Madam Walker’s Villa Lewaro in Irvington, New York and A’Lelia Walker’s Harlem townhouse on 136th Street and her pied-a-terre on Edgecombe Avenue. I look forward to answering your questions about On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker and my new book, Joy Goddess: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance.
