Description

Join us for a FREE History & Heritage Tour! Over the lunch hour, take a break from your desk and enjoy a sneak peak of the newly restored facility. This event officially marks the countdown to the MWLC’s 95th anniversary celebration. In addition to a preview of the space, attendees will enjoy a historic re-enactment of the MWLC’s establishment in 1927 performed by Freetown Village. Advance registration is required. The Walker building, once the headquarters and manufacturing plant of Madam CJ Walker Hair Care and Beauty Products, boasts much of its original 1927 architecture…but we are more than just a building. The Madam Walker Legacy Center is a 501 c3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of Madam CJ Walker by providing cultural education, promoting social justice, supporting entrepreneurship and empowering youth to become the next generation of entreprenuers and civic leaders. We use our historic building as a venue for celebrating cultural diversity, rich heritage and cultural traditions, primarily through art from the African-American perspective.
