But the path for a Black female designer was unclear, so Mae made a way, leaving her home in the segregated South to study at the Chicago School of Millinery. Now, Mae had the skills, but craved the independence to create her own styles. So Mae found a way. In Philadelphia, she became the first Black woman to own a business on South Street. Whether you were Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Marian Anderson or a lady from the neighborhood, Mae wanted you to look good and feel special in one of her original hats. A mother, successful entreprenuer, and community advocate, Mae led the way. Published in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, acclaimed author Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich (Two Naomis) and award-winning illustrator Andrea Pippins (I Love My Hair) bring the life of fashion entrepreneur and civic organizer Mae Reeves to the page. And when you are done reading, explore Mae's store and styles in person at her permanent exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture"--|cProvided by publisher. 521 Ages 5-7|bCrown Books for Young Readers 521 Grades K-1|bCrown Books for Young Readers 600 10 Reeves, Mae,|d1912-2016|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Millinery|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American businesspeople|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Minority businesswomen|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Millinery|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American businesspeople|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Minority businesswomen|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Women|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 700 1 Pippins, Andrea,|eillustrator.
