Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ideological protégée 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.
