Schomburg The man Who Built a Library - Weatherford, Carole Boston
Amid the scholars, poets, authors, and artists of the Harlem REnaissance stood an Afro-PuertoRican man named Arturo Schomburg. His life’s passion was to collect books, letters, music, and art from Africa and the African diaspora and bring to light the achievements of people of African descent. When his collection became so large that it threatened to overflow his house he turned to the NYC public library.
