This Cabinet Card is a photograph of an intense looking young girl with interesting tube like braids. The photographer is A. R. Fowler of Meadville, Pennsylvania. Meadville is in northwest Pennsylvania. A historic event occurred in Meadville when a Black man tried to register his kids into public school and was turned away. He appealed the decision and the court declared the segregation law of 1854 unconstitutional and outlawed segregation in Pennsylvania in 1881. The 1880’s also found Meadville’s economy driven by iron production, agriculture and logging. To view other photographs by A. R. Fowler, click on the category “Photographer: Fowler (A. R.)
