The award-winning filmmaker ("Miles Davis: Birth of Cool," "The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution") has a personal connection to Walker: his grandfather, Freeman B. Ransom, was the Walker Company’s general manager; and his mother, A’Lelia Ransom Nelson, was its president. ___________________ The recently-released @selfmadenetflix "Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker" starring @octaviaspencer in the title role has received mixed reviews and criticism for not being historically accurate, including colorist tropes and tarnishing the legacy of Walker's mentor and millionaire Black beauty business entrepreneur #AnnieTurnboMalone ______________________ #TwoDollarsAndADream #Documentary #PBS #WorldChannel #AmericanHistory #BlackWomenMillionaires #FemaleEntrepreneurs #StayHome #StaySafe #WatchAMovie #YouTubeAndChill #TraScapades #BlackGirlMovieGeeks🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iTz8wAVlK/?igshid=1194vl2p9pel6
