We trot her out in February, Black History month, then leave her life and legacy quietly sitting somewhere in the corners of our minds. Most African-Americans know that she was the first female self made millionaire in the United States and we enjoy the fact that she was Black. You probably know that she was recognized by the U. S. Postal Service in 1998 with a stamp in her honor as a part of its "Black Heritage" series. Are you still wondering who my subject is? She's inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and civil rights activist Sarah Breedlove, best known to the world as Madam C. J. Walker.
