Madam C. J. Walker, who was born Sarah Breedlove in 1867 in Delta, Louisiana, received very little formal education as a child. During the late 1800s and early 1900s very few Americans completed high school or college. In Sarah's case, there were almost no public schools for black children in Louisiana because the state and local legislators refused to fund education for African Americans during that time. She learned some rudimentary skills in her church, but was mostly illiterate until after she moved to St. Louis and was exposed to more educated African Americans in her church, St. Paul AME. When her daughter enrolled in elementary school in St. Louis during the late 1880s, she began to learn along with her. Some of her daughter's teachers and principals were African Americans who had attended Oberlin College, one of the first American universities to enroll black students. Eventually she is said to have taken night school classes in St. Louis. Once she founded her hair care products company, she hired a personal tutor, Alice Kelly, who had been a teacher at a private black school in Kentucky, to help her improve her reading and writing skills. Walker, like many American entrepreneurs of her era, was considered a "self-taught" woman. She was a life-long learner who enjoyed reading the newspaper and keeping abreast of current events. She installed a library in her home, Villa Lewaro, in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York.

Madam Walker, whose birth name was Sarah Breedlove, did not attend school in Louisiana as a child because the state legislature refused to fund schools for black children during the 1870s. She had some rudimentary education in her church as a child. As an adult in St. Louis, she began to learn informally from her daughter, who was enrolled in school, and from women in her church. At one point, she said she attended some night school classes. After she had founded her business and was more financially successful, she hired a private tutor to improve her education.

Madam Walker received very basic and rudimentsry education in her church in Delta, LA but there were no public schools for black children in her town when she was a child during the 1870s because the local and state legislators refused to provide funds to educate them. Later when she and her daughter moved to St. Louis, she attended night school for adults and received tutoring from women in her church. Many years later when she began to become successful in business, she hired a personal tutor because she believed in life long learning. Source: On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J.
