Celebrate the opening of Schomburg Center's exhibition "To Uncover and Reveal to the World: Arturo Schomburg’s Library"
Before the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, there was the library of Arturo “Arthur” Schomburg: race man, bookworm, and scholar of the African diaspora. Join us for the opening of our newest exhibition To Uncover and Reveal to the World: Arturo Schomburg’s Library beginning at 12 Noon. Throughout the day there will be art-making activities that draw visitors into the details of bookmaking.
The exhibition showcases more than one hundred items from the famous bibliophile's original collection, which he sold to the 135th Street Branch Library in 1926. This acquisition became the basis for the Schomburg Center’s vast collections.
In the evening (6–8 PM), registered attendees will enjoy a program featuring exhibition curator Dr. Laura Helton, contributors to a companion publication Black Studies on 135th Street: The Founding and Future of the Schomburg Collection (Yale University Press), a live musical performance, and reception.
