However, in 1912 Charles J. Walker and Sarah Breedlove Walker divorced. By some accounts -including that of her first husband- Sarah and Charles were never legally married to begin with! Nevertheless, by 1912 the business name of Madam C.J. Walker has become well known and so Mr. Walker was made to sign an agreement whereby Madam Walker would be allowed to continue to use the name “Madame C.J. Walker” to promote the sale of her hair care products and later, her cosmetics.
