Abstract Master tailor and tailoring instructor Marion William Anderson was born on April 18, 1926, in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1947, after serving in the U.S. Army in Asia for a few months, he graduated from Burke Industrial High School with a major in tailoring. In 1949, Anderson moved to Harlem, New York to look for work. In 1956, he began instructing prisoners in the tailor shop on Rikers Island. Four years later, he convinced the New York City Board of Education to create a tailoring curriculum, and he was hired at Sterling High School in Brooklyn, New York, where he taught tailoring for thirty-three years. In 1987, Anderson founded his own school, the Manhattanville Needle Trade School, in Harlem; and, in 2007, celebrated his twentieth year as its director. During his career, Anderson has tailored suits for many members of the Harlem elite and taught a valuable trade to hundreds.
