Additional Details

Manet Harrison Fowler (1895-1976) was a Texas native and 1913 graduate of the Tuskegee Institute who later studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and toured the country as a soprano opera singer. She brought the Mwalimu Center for African Culture to Harlem in 1932, and became an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. The sheet music in this still life, issued for a high school marching band, is marked for use by Mrs. Manet [Fowler] at the Mwalimu Center.
