A Friend To All Mankind:Mrs. Annie Turnbo Malone And Poro College

An ideological protegee of Dr. Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Annie Turnbo Malone founded Poro College to be dedicated to helping the person "furthest down" in society. Born on a small farm in Southern Illinois, young Annie Turnbo began her hair treatments among friends and family. Over the next two decades, she became one of the first African-American female self-made millionaires. Although the life and work of Mrs. Malone and Poro College has nearly been forgotten over the decades since her death, hers was a paradigm of service and sacrifice to others. This is more than a story about beauty and hair care. It is a story of beauty based on a beautiful life.
