Summary

Rose Morgan (born, 1912) is interviewed at her beauty salon in Harlem. She begins the interview with her early life in Shelby, Mississippi. At the age of 6, her family moved to Chicago. At the age of 12 she developed an interest in hair styling. She did not complete high school; her first job after leaving high school was in a laundromat. She left the laundromat to work full-time as a hair stylist. After two years as an apprentice at a beauty salon, she enrolled in a beauty school to become a professional beautician. One of her first clients was Ethel Waters. She accompanied Ethel Waters to New York where Waters was performing. Her talent as a hair stylist was recognized and she was advised to come to work in New York. She was fascinated by New York and decided to move permanently to New York and establish herself as a hair stylist. She rented a booth in a hair salon and made $10 the first week. Eventually, she opened her own hair salon. The interview focuses on her career as a beautician and businesswoman.
