Arturo Schomburg Annual Lecture

Program Locations:

Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Langston Hughes Auditorium

Join us for our first Arturo Schomburg Annual Lecture!


The Division of Negro Literature, History and Prints — the forerunner to today’s Schomburg Center first won international acclaim in 1926 when the personal collection of the distinguished Puerto Rican-born Black scholar and bibliophile, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, was acquired.

Schomburg's collection included more than 5,000 books; 3,000 manuscripts; 2,000 etchings and paintings; and several thousand pamphlets. Schomburg served as curator of the Division from 1932 until his death in 1938. In 1940, the Division was renamed the Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature, History and Prints in honor of its founder. In 1972, the Schomburg Collection was designated as one of The Research Libraries of The New York Public Library and became the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Today, the Schomburg Center contains over 10,000,000 items.
