T01410794627
1867 is a moving play inspired by the story of Madam CJ Walker, who was the first self made, African American female millionaire. Set during the late 1800's and a few years after slavery has been abolished the play celebrates the courage, strength and entrapaneuralism of Delilah McAndrew. Having been the first member of her family to be born free Delilah overcame the oppression, race and sexual inequality to not only become a success but to also be renowned for her philanthropic work and willingness to help others. By the time of her death in 1919 Delilah McAndrew had built one of the largest black owned manufacturing companies in the world which included an international network of over 15,000 Delilah McAndrew agents.
