Title

A Typical Scene on the Bowery

Subject

The Bowery, New York City

Description

This still image of the Bowery happened to come from a book about African Americans and the special institutions established throughout the United States for the sake of giving them a good education. The Bowery, like the rest of New York, is a cultural melting pot filled with many individuals from many parts of the world, particularly from countries located in Europe and Asia. During the Progressive Era, African Americans were entitled to receive an education from the Bowery's educational and cultural institutions.
