2:06Now PlayingOn this day in 1874, Arturo Schomburg, the man responsible for seeding the foundations of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture through a life’s worth of research and preservation was born.
He was a writer, curator and historian dedicated to the collection and amplification of art and academic work by people of African descent.
His original and personal collection was the cornerstone of what has now become the Schomburg Center.
Schomburg focused his energy on fortifying Black identity in New York City.
Before the center, in the days of the Harlem Renaissance, Black intellectuals would actually visit his home to research from his collection.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
