Marjorie S. Joyner filed to patent her Permanent Waving Machine on May 16, 1928.
The machine allowed a hairdresser to set many curls at once, and included scalp protectors to shield the client from heat.
Record Group 241: Records of the Patent and Trademark Office
Series: Utility Patent Case Files
Image description: Several views showing how one square inch of hair is wrapped around a piece of fabric, which in turn is clamped with long tongs. A flat piece of material sits between the tongs and the scalp.
Image description: View of a stand that holds a hanging set of tongs, so that a client can sit in a chair beneath the stand and many sets of tongs attached to their hair at once.

Marjorie Joyner (née Stewart; October 24, 1896 – December 27, 1994) was a businesswoman, hair care entrepreneur, philanthropist, educator, and activist. She is noted for being the first African-American woman to create and patent a permanent hair-wave machine. She was highly visible in the African-American community in Chicago, once serving as head of the Chicago Defender Charity network, helping organize the Bud Billiken Day Parade and fundraiser for various schools. She was the granddaughter of a slave and a white slave owner. She moved to Chicago in 1912, and shortly thereafter, she began studying cosmetology. She graduated from A.B. Molar Beauty School in Chicago in 1916, the first African American to achieve this. At the age of 20, she married podiatrist Robert E. Joyner and opened her salon. That was where she met Madam C. J. Walker, an African American beauty entrepreneur, and the owner of a cosmetic empire. Always a lover of women's cosmetics, she went to work for her and oversaw 200 of Madame Walker's beauty schools as the national adviser. A major role was sending Walker's hair stylists door-to-door, dressed in black skirts and white blouses with black satchels containing a range of beauty products that were applied in the customer's house. She taught some 15,000 stylists over her fifty-year career. She was a leader in developing new products, such as her permanent wave machine. She helped write the first cosmetology laws for the state of Illinois, and founded a sorority and fraternity, Alpha Chi Pi Omega on October 27, 1945 as well as a national association for African American beauticians. She was friends with Eleanor Roosevelt, and helped found the National Council of Negro Women. She was an advisor to the DNC in the 1940s, and advised several New Deal agencies trying to reach out to African American women. She was highly visible in the Chicago African American community, as head of the Chicago Defender Charity network, and fundraiser for various schools. In 1987 the Smithsonian Institution in Washington opened an exhibit featuring her permanent wave machine and a replica of her original salon. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #zetaphibeta https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGHyxdrU5Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

frank tashlin’s cinematographic excellence is no secret, and i KNOW i keep saying this but it’s definitely eye-opening watching this as a board artist now—not even limited to the super fast cutting, but just the zooms are fascinating too. the seemingly random zooms (particularly starting off the beginning zoomed in, zooming in on the beaver snapping, zooming in when porky enters and the other beaver exits) are all very deliberate and thought out choices and that’s FASCINATING!!!
#the permanent wave is a reference to the permanent wave machine invented by marjorie joyner (a black woman!!!) in 1928 so in 1936 the gag#was still recent enough to get laughs#and also i don’t remember the last time i posted a clip with joe dougherty’s voice in it so for those who don’t know this is porky’s#original VA who had an actual stutter and was hired/fired for it (which is sad but evidently the stutter raked up lots of $ in retakes so#it’s understandable. and i mean. mel blanc come on)#some people don’t like dougherty’s voice but i don’t mind it. i prefer blanc of course but i like dougherty’s voice#lt#porky in the north woods#tashlin#vid

Over the course of this month I will be highlighting 28 Black inventors who have changed the course of history but often do not get their recognition. Marjorie Joyner was born on October 24, 1896 in Virginia, she was the granddaughter of a slave and a slaveowner. As a young adult Joyner left Virginia and moved to Chicago where she studied cosmetology and graduated college from A.B. Molar Beauty School, she was the first Black woman to ever graduate from this college. Also after she graduated college she opened a beauty salon and married her husband Robert Joyner. In her time in the beauty industry Joyner realized that the curling iron from the stove was an inefficient way to curl hair because it would only last a day. So in response to this inefficiency Joyner invented the Waving Machine. This invention had 16 rollers attached to a dryer hood which would curl a lady’s hair and keep it curled for days on end. She was able to get this patented in 1928. Come back tomorrow for another Black History Month lesson on the many inventors that have changed the course of history!

CHICAGO’S DEFENDER
by David Isle
For most people, the only obstacle to buying a Rolls Royce is the price. When Robert Abbott wanted to buy a Rolls Royce in 1926, he had no shortage of cash. He faced a different obstacle: the color of his skin. Abbott had become extremely wealthy as the founder of The Defender, the Chicago newspaper which became the voice and protector of black people throughout the United States*. Abbot started the newspaper in 1905 with virtually nothing. Sometimes he had to sell his only overcoat in Chicago winter to fund the next week’s printing. By the 20s, he was one of the wealthiest men in American and wanted to live like it. Hence the Rolls.
But the salesperson at the dealership refused to sell him one. Abbott made further inquiries with the company and still got nowhere. Undeterred, he persuaded a white friend to purchase the vehicle on his behalf. He took a photograph of the car in the driveway of his new mansion and published it for the newspaper’s hundreds of thousands of readers.
Abbott’s car was a shining ambassador of the Defender’s general message to black people across the South: that opportunity and safety lay in the North, and that they would be better off leaving the South behind. Many readers heeded this call, leaving sharecropping farms and taking the long train ride to Chicago.
The Defender also took on the responsibility of instructing these new arrivals on the culture of the urban North. The newspaper frequently published articles with titles like “How to Act in Public Places,” which imparted tidbits like “stop hooping from one end of the street car to another.”
The paper’s most insistent and dignified apostle of old-fashioned manners and style was their society columnist Julius Avendorph. Avendorph worked for the president of Pullman, the railroad car company. Avendorph’s column hectored readers for their ignorance of his exacting code of conduct and dress. “Diamonds are beautiful to wear and valuable to have,” wrote Avendorph, “but they have no place at all when it comes to evening dress, and gold is only to be used when a dinner coat is to be worn.” I have no idea what someone newly arrived from a Mississippi farm, where even owning shoes might have seemed an impossible luxury, would make of an admonition such as this one.
By his death in 1923, Avendorph had become a bit of a fossil. Clothing styles were changing rapidly, and pre-World War I dress was obsolete. Moreover, new migrants from the South were arriving so quickly that they were coming to define the culture of black Chicago rather than submit to it. The Defender would hang on to relevance for many decades more, as a chronicler of the Civil Rights era, an outlet for some of the important black figures of the time such as Marjorie Stewart Joyner, Walter White, and Louis Martin, and as a political force in its own right (Barack Obama sought, but did not obtain, The Defender’s endorsement of his unsuccessful campaign for US Congress in 2000).
Robert Abbott’s success is measured in different units than snazzy cars. The Defender’s mission was much broader and grander than monetary profits. But that Rolls Royce also represented much more than an accumulation of business success. It represented the defiant pride at the core of The Defender’s character, a relentless assertion of dignity and justice in the face of overwhelming hatred and oppression. Never has a Rolls been more richly earned.
*For a thorough history of The Defender, see Ethan Michaeli’s book The Defender
