If I was a Harlem resident, they would ban me from the Schomburg Center -the staff would literally tell me to never come back because I would want to move into the premises!
Exactly, it would be reported on the news as follows "Highly Educated, Well Compensated and HOUSED Woman Found Living in Schomberg Amongst the Research Antiquities" more on this from Rachel, Rachel take it away!!
Aha! A collaborative post from two of my favorite Substackers!
C. Elyse, I enjoyed learning about Arthur Schomburg. Your well-chosen representative sentences from the author's work always humanize the people you highlight, and this was no exception. And Franco, kudos on the tips. I read them over several times. They're fun, accurate and full of heart.
Wasn’t he amazing? Thank you for reading, and because he accomplished significantly more, in hind-sight (which is always 20/20) this really should have been a two part posting.
Extremely nice to know about Schomburg. It turns out there were other activist Black historians at that time besides W.E.B. Du Bois...
Thank you for reading, and interestingly, the two (he and W.E.B. Du Bois) were colleagues and friends!
I loved passing by the Schomburg as a Harlem resident. So well curated and preserved.

And, I would smile during the entire interview!
Intriguing 👌
Love the tips at the end!
I cannot take credit for either -that belongs to Franco, and thanks for reading!

Aha, a compliment from one of my favorite collaborators on a post by me and one of my favorite authors, publishers and collaborators!
Thank you for reading, and I agree Franco’s tips are pretty darn cool! 😊
I learn something new each time you publish. Thank you.
That is very nice to know; thank you for reading!
The whole article is a sermon. Thank you!

I'm going to re-read it again this evening. Every word was something my heart needed to hear.
That is so nice to know! Thank you.
