    Willie Lee Morrow (1939-2022) was a barber shop owner, businessman, and inventor of the afro pick amidst the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. As the hairstyle grew in popularity over the decades, Morrow’s afro pick became one of many tools and hair care products available to the Black community. Morrow was contracted by the Department of Defense in the early 1970s to train barbers in Black styling. He would continue to travel internationally, training military and civilian barbers.
