Information on Madam C.J. Walker and daughter A'lelia Walker's footsteps in historic Old West Baltimore will be featured in the upcoming book, Old West Baltimore (Arcadia Publishing).
In addition, there were numerous beauty shops where the owners were trained in the Walker method, Poro College method (Annie Turnbo Malone), Apex Method (Madame Sara Spencer Washington), and the local method of Madame Jennie Creditt Jones with the Unique School of Beauty Culture and the Manufacture of Hair.
