Rest in Peace Gloria Dennard
Founder of Manna House Workshops, in 1967, that began as a monthly coffee house in the basement of Ascension Church in East Harlem. Music became the major focus and the workshops were moved to a storefront, where economically disadvantaged neighbors could be served. Her staff consisted of two administrators and fourteen instructors.
