Sarah Breedlove, who later was known as Madam C. J. Walker, received very little education as a child because the local parish government and the Louisiana state legislature would not fund public education for black children during the 1870s. She learned rudimentary skills in her church. After she moved to St. Louis and enrolled her daughter in the public schools there, she began to become a self-taught person. After she started her business, she hired a personal tutor. There were many famous entrepreneurs during her era who were self-taught. Source: On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J.
