Madam CJ Walker is the African American woman being honored today.  She became a self-made millionaire by creating her very own line of hair care products for black women. When her profits increased to a significant degree, she created a beauty school. She is seen as a historical figure for being the first black female millionaire, but she also defended the rights of blacks and donated money to many charities.
