主题：玛吉·沃克：从贫困到社会领袖的奋斗之路
Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was
once a slave in a rich woman’s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief
killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie’s mother started
doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every
day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student,
especially in math.
After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In
1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed
home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization
called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take
care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the
organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take
care of each other.
Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with
the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for
young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In
1899, Walker became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization.
However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of
the man who had the job before her.
The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took
over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie
Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the
Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000
members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased
its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.
