I am honoured to be here at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, an institution which stands as testament to the strong historical ties between the Caribbean and the African-American community. Named after a Black Caribbean man, the Schomburg Center has been the home of Caribbean and African-American culture and history, and of all peoples of the African Diaspora, since Arturo Alphonso Schomburg, a Black man from Puerto Rico, first became associated with it in the early part of the 20th Century.
