EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Ariel S. H. Bowen [recto], 1902: A Pioneering African-American Writer, Temperance Activist, and Professor This portrait depicts Ariel Serena Hedges Bowen, an influential figure in the African-American community during the early 20th century. Born in the United States, Bowen was a prolific writer, temperance activist, and professor of music at Clark University in Atlanta. Her commitment to education and social reform extended beyond her professional roles, as she was also a dedicated life member of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bowen's contributions to literature and activism during the 1900s were significant, particularly during a time when opportunities for African Americans were limited. Her works, which focused on various topics related to the African-American experience, were published by various companies, including Premier Publishing Company. Her writings were not only a reflection of her own experiences but also served as a voice for the African-American community. Bowen's portrait is a testament to her multifaceted identity and the cultural heritage she represented. Her image is reminiscent of other influential figures of the time, such as Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, who were also advocates for social justice and education. This portrait, now housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a valuable addition to the rich tapestry of African-American history and serves as a reminder of the important role women played in shaping the narrative of their communities.
