The Spirit of Madam C.J. Walker Lives on at Villa Lewaro

The historic Irvington, New York, summer home of Madam C.J. Walker still stands today, reminding us of the optimism and perseverance of America’s first self-made female millionaire. Villa Lewaro has changed hands several times since Madam Walker passed away, but her entrepreneurial spirit lives on through the home’s restoration, in the hands of owners Helena and Ambassador Harold E. Doley. Here, Helena Doley speaks to the power in preserving this landmark of African American achievement for future generations of Americans.
