  The Schomburg is a wonderful place with exhibits that provide history of people of African Descent. There are amazing images and paintings which decorate the walls , but also draw the visitor in and force them to recognize the parts of the past they may not have been aware of. I was lucky enough to attend a workshop at this center where the students were given a tour of the facility, as well as presented with the opportunity to examine some historical documents and objects from the archives. All in all this experience was very enlightening and I would suggest that anyone interested in the history of people of African descent, and their contributions to the world we live in take a trip to this center. P.S. be careful of how you conduct yourself within the facility . My classmates and I were confronted by older woman who told us that we weren't behaving appropriately , and that we should "have fun but not too much fun."

  What can I say? The Schomburg is a historic masterpiece. I've visited this place many times over, and each time my experience is far greater then the next. Last week, I had the honor of attending an event to hear Nikki Giovanni share her profound work and story. She was very humorous and yet detailed about her interactions with the great Maya Angelou, and James Baldwin, just name a few. I hear she makes a mean rack of lamb. LOL! The staff at the Schomburg were very professional and pleasant. The priceless treasure holds the history of a people who's experience on the shores of America is one the most tragic and yet found stories. I'd advise anyone who cam to visit, donate and or become a member as I plan to do. So generations to come, can benefit from this living legacy.

  Teach your security about the constitution. Taking a photo from the sidewalk, not on your property is not illegal and initiating a confrontation at a civil rights iconic location is bizarre, even with the public advocates representative telling the guard photography from that location is lawful.

  LORD JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU. This place is great for research on Black Herstory, yes I know it's spelled differently but I'm a woman so that's the way I spell it. Thanks

  I love this place and visit it every time I'm in NY. Its library and reading room are public and it's a great place to indulge in some literature or simply read the news. Their bookshop is great.
