Hello Ben!! this is great History.. (IMack)
I am so appreciative of Mrs. Walker and her vision and encouragement for the Black community, especially women. Thank you Mrs. Walker for all you did and continue to inspire all Black people. I can't wait to visit your hometown.
I appreciate learning about this wonderful woman.
Awesome !
Black! ... only Black! Sounds just a little bit racist.
what a awesome woman
More proof that the Black woman is the strongest woman on God's Green Earth. & the Black Man is absolutely Nothing without Her ✊🏾

Thank you for helping to educate the public.

Unsung Warriors Women of Colour I Thank You for Sharing R.I.P 🌷 Mrs Walker
Amazing story, very inspiring
I love this lady.
What a wonderful story!
Yes we had the ambition and the power then like we do now.
She was a woman ahead of her time. A genius.
This was an awesome woman, what strength and wisdom. I applaud her. This should be a movie rest in heaven queen
What happened to the bank she founded?
She had the idea to boycott transportation and it worked over 100 years BEFORE Rosa Parks! I am dumbfounded too @salkis re!!!!
Her message of unity, cooperation and helping one another is timeless and the only real answer...but do we listen?
I get to see her house every day because my sister cleans it up. Its tourable and the other part to her house is able to be rented air b and b
Born and raised in Richmond Va, she has inspired me greatly! She did well cause me and my children were able to graduate in Richmonds landmark theater! Thank you Mrs Walker for all you did
Yet- we have progressed little since then..we lack one major element and that’s UNITY!!’
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY!!!! I never knew of her and now am enlightened by her legacy.
We simply need an acknowledgement thumb! I don't like over 75% of what I see but I "like" as an acknowledgement of what Ive read. Ignorance should not be seen as bliss but an opportunity to grow, research and learn if one has such an ambition.
💜
What a fabulous wise woman! America should be very proud to have her as part of its best history.
The mess up thing is these are the ppl our schools need to teach us about and maby we’ll pay attention. Issa shame i didnt know about her sooner
Amazing!! Thanks for posting. We need these stories told!! ❤ ✌
God bless Maggie Lena Walker, she sounds like quite a woman to reckon with. Her thinking was ahead of her time. RIP Ms. Walker.
This story I heard about this is one business woman who don't let nothing stop her from doing what she wants, the first black banker, our people accomplish so many things throughout there life style. And it's funny how African American where the first to have building a city of pure rich working people, they were know for the first Wall Street...
Every word and deed she (they) endured is still so true today....wow. Amazing. Buy black and unity💐
Unity she said it.and it's one of the primary things that us blacks don't follow in today's time
Like the video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
In the 1800s black children got better education from black teachers than black students get today from white teachers.
Everyone in America should know her name. I really have to wonder why we don’t? It’s not too late though. We just need to keep sharing the word about her to our children, until the day she finally gets her due & there’s a major motion film made on her life.
Wonderful historical presentation.
Thank you
What a Woman ❤️
Outstanding documentary! What is the name of the song that is played at the end? "im over high moutains"
Notice Black Teachers teaching Black Children ..Black Teachers Male and Female always expected and demanded "BLACK EXCELLENCE" from their black students , now with female white teachers its the public school system to the penitentiary prison system..Racism White Supremacy..
Black History Month is not just about the days of extreme slavery. It's about the human power we share in overcoming bits and pieces of the entrapment. The knowledge and wisdom we, Black Americans gain day by day. Black History Month 2021, is about the understanding and the fact-finding and the lessons of UNITY. The power of one Billionaire Black American should be enhanced not taunted and the person who reaches the highest of their potentials should be admired, yet, reminded that their lives belong to the same God that created their siblings created them. There are answers to the many questions, we, Black Americans, all, have. Yet, there is no time for INTERNALIZED OPPRESSION. For, in that, Black America reenslave itself. Do Black America's Children need what we hear about and read about the slavery of our fore-parents...It just came on....Hezekiah Walker's song, "I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE". Timely message.
My great grandfather’s name was walker and his father was a white Irish Jew.
🌹 So inspiring
My Virginia Queen 🌹
Thankful for Maggie L Walker’s legacy. Her insight on family is still important and will remain.
The united family unit is the foundation of any strong community, nation, society...
As Woman succeed the Family grows weaker and so does the country. The single woman living with cats in an apartment is on the rise.
A big thank you!! :)
