Arturo Schomburg, born in
Puerto Rico, he began early to take an active interest in Negro literature
and art. While engaged in various occupations he painstakingly assembled a
collection of rare manuscripts, first editions and prints, some of which
went back to the earliest settlements on the American continents. In 1926,
his collection, then considered one of the most complete of its kind, was
purchased by the Carnegie Foundation and presented to the Public Library. In
1927, he won a bronze medal and one hundred dollars from the Harmon
Foundation for outstanding work in the field of education.

steamboats and Florida hotels. He alter enrolled in Shaw
University in Raleigh, North Carolina and then obtained his
