  • How can I get a copy of this video? The world needs to know about the accomplishments of Annie Malone. Why have historians ignored Annie Malone and all that she did, yet promoted Madame C.J. Walker, who actually worked for Ms.Malone?

  • Wow, I have never heard on Annie Malone. She was another Madamme CJ Walker and a social entrepreneur, philanthropist and worker for our AA community. I-I-I like that! Thanks for sharing! U rock!!! LOL!!!

  • Annie Malone Drive was formerly Goode Avenue and Chuck Berry was born there (2520 Goode Avenue). The song "Johnny B. Goode" is named from the name of the street, Goode Avenue.
