A Balanced Account

C.J. Walker is a little known character in the ongoing epic of the American Dream. Cookie Lommel captures the life of this first female mllionairess without the cloying hype of political correctness. With her easy style Ms Lommel gives a detailed account of her subject's life allowing her audiences to draw their own conclusions of this monumental African-American life. As a Caucasian male I'm shamed that I did not know more before this first masterful encounter with C. J. Walker. Brava Ms Lommel
