Maggie Lena Walker (July 15, 1864 – December 15, 1934) was an African-American teacher and businesswoman.
Walker was the first African American woman to charter a bank and serve as its president in the United States.
As a leader, she achieved successes with the vision to make tangible improvements in the way of life for African Americans and women.
Disabled by paralysis and limited to a wheelchair later in life, Walker also became an example for people with disabilities. Walker's restored and furnished home in the historic Jackson Ward neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia has been designated a National Historic Site, operated by the National Park Service.
