This cool mural of CJ Walker is on the side Stylistics salon at 501 Florida Ave, NW. CJ Walker was:

“Madam C.J. Walker (December 23, 1867 – May 25, 1919) was an African-American businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur and philanthropist. She made her fortune by developing and marketing a hugely successful line of beauty and hair products for black women under the company she founded, Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company.”
