Fue un activista, escritor, educador y coleccionista apodado \"el Sherlock Holmes de la historia negra\" por el historiador y periodista estadounidense de origen jamaicano Joel Augustus Rogers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naci\u00f3 el 24 de enero de 1874 en Santurce, Puerto Rico, cuando la isla a\u00fan era colonia de Espa\u00f1a. Su madre era Mar\u00eda Josefa, una mujer negra de Saint-Croix, y su padre Carlos Federico, nacido en Puerto Rico de ascendencia alemana. En una clase de quinto curso, al darse cuenta de que no estudiaban nada relacionado con los negros ni con la historia, pregunt\u00f3 a un profesor si los negros ten\u00edan historia. El profesor respondi\u00f3: \"No\". Aquello impuls\u00f3 su trabajo de toda la vida para demostrar que el profesor estaba equivocado. Le influyeron los abolicionistas y nacionalistas puertorrique\u00f1os, as\u00ed como Salvador Brau, historiador oficial de Puerto Rico, cuyo trabajo inclu\u00eda las aportaciones de los afroporte\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schomburg se traslad\u00f3 a Nueva York en 1891, cuando Puerto Rico a\u00fan era colonia espa\u00f1ola y s\u00f3lo exist\u00eda una peque\u00f1a comunidad puertorrique\u00f1a en tierra firme. Ten\u00eda 17 a\u00f1os, solo, y encontr\u00f3 una comunidad de cubanos pol\u00edticamente activos, que abogaban por la independencia de Cuba de Espa\u00f1a, como Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed. Fue cofundador de un grupo pol\u00edtico independentista, Las Dos Antillas (1892), y miembro de otras organizaciones, como una logia mas\u00f3nica llamada El Sol de Cuba (1892) y la Secci\u00f3n Puertorrique\u00f1a del Partido Revolucionario Cubano. Al concluir la guerra hispano-estadounidense en 1898, Cuba obtuvo la independencia, Puerto Rico se convirti\u00f3 en colonia de Estados Unidos y los movimientos independentistas se desvanecieron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La atenci\u00f3n de Schomburg se centr\u00f3 en amasar su ahora mundialmente aclamada colecci\u00f3n de obras literarias y art\u00edsticas de personas de \u00c1frica y de origen africano de todo el mundo, demostrando sus contribuciones y logros. Trabaj\u00f3 en un bufete de abogados, pero no pudo colegiarse por carecer de documentaci\u00f3n educativa. Finalmente trabaj\u00f3 en Bankers Trust Company durante m\u00e1s de veinte a\u00f1os y ascendi\u00f3 a Supervisor de la Secci\u00f3n de Correo del Caribe y Am\u00e9rica Latina. Se dio a conocer por su colecci\u00f3n e investigaci\u00f3n en constante crecimiento y cofund\u00f3 la Negro Society for Historical Research, en 1911, cuyo objetivo era apoyar el panafricanismo y los esfuerzos acad\u00e9micos africanos, antillanos y afroamericanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schomburg fue tambi\u00e9n un pionero al reclamar la creaci\u00f3n de una C\u00e1tedra de Historia Negra y programas de Estudios Negros en nuestras escuelas y universidades. Dec\u00eda: \"Necesitamos que el historiador y el fil\u00f3sofo nos cuenten con pluma mordaz la historia de nuestros antepasados, y que nuestra alma y nuestro cuerpo, con luz fosforescente, iluminen el abismo que nos separa. Deber\u00edamos aferrarnos a ellos como la sangre es m\u00e1s espesa que el agua\".  En 1920 se convirti\u00f3 en presidente de la American Negro Academy, cargo que ocup\u00f3 hasta 1928; seg\u00fan algunos relatos, algunos se preguntaban si era lo bastante negro dados sus antecedentes. Tambi\u00e9n lleg\u00f3 a ser maestro de su logia mas\u00f3nica y Gran Secretario de la Gran Logia del Estado de Nueva York, todo ello mientras criaba una familia y amasaba su colecci\u00f3n, que compart\u00eda libremente. Schomburg fue una de las figuras m\u00e1s destacadas, aunque quiz\u00e1 menos conocida, del Renacimiento de Harlem y un padre de la Historia Negra. Enviud\u00f3 dos veces y debi\u00f3 de contar con el incre\u00edble apoyo de sus tres esposas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schomburg es la encarnaci\u00f3n del poder de la unidad cultural, un testimonio viviente de la fuerza que se encuentra en abrazar la propia herencia al tiempo que se fomentan las conexiones m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las fronteras. Arturo Schomburg no s\u00f3lo preserv\u00f3 la historia, sino que tambi\u00e9n encendi\u00f3 una llama que sigue iluminando las diversas y a menudo ignoradas contribuciones de los afrolatinos en el contexto m\u00e1s amplio de la di\u00e1spora africana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vea este breve v\u00eddeo sobre la importancia del Schomburg Center para artistas como Harry Belafonte, historiadores, escritores, educadores, estudiantes, etc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"El Centro Schomburg\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RI-_Ypgtw9Y?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre Schomburg y su extensa colecci\u00f3n, adquirida por la Biblioteca P\u00fablica de Nueva York y conservada en la <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Schomburg_Center_for_Research_in_Black_Culture\">Centro Schomburg de Investigaci\u00f3n de la Cultura Negra<\/a> en Harlem, siga estos enlaces: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nypl.org\/locations\/schomburg\">https:\/\/www.nypl.org\/locations\/schomburg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h1>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6187","announcement","type-announcement","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Black History Month - Statement Honoring Arturo Alfonso Schomburg - Puerto Rican Bar Association of New York<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/prbany.com\/es\/announcement\/black-history-month-statement-honoring-arturo-alfonso-schomburg\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Black History Month - Statement Honoring Arturo Alfonso Schomburg - Puerto Rican Bar Association of New York\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In Honor of Black History Month the Puerto Rican Bar Association Celebrates the Life of Afro-Borinque\u00f1o Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (January 24, 1874 &#8211; June 10, 1938) Arturo Alfonso Schomburg described himself as Afro-Borinque\u00f1o.
