NYPL Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture

I've been here a few years ago for #BWB and recently attended the WEEN awards. I loved the way they transformed this historic venue. Landmark location.

If you truly want to understand the history of the African American Community, this is a must stop. Child Friendly . Outdoor Garden . GO!!

The Schomburg has become once of the leading institutions in African American culture being preserved. Check it out and get involved.

Still get just as excited as I did entering the Schomburg as a young child. So much history and culture here. Come see a talk, Dance , Explore an exhibit , visit the gift shop !

Don't miss the gallery tribute to the African Burial Ground, a site rediscovered in 1991, home to nearly 20,000 African men, women, and children who lived during the 17th & 18th centuries.

Great educational place to meet degree in Central Harlem. Consider a gathering at the meeting room before your next Harlem excursion with friends coming from different places.

The museum , galleries , theaters and gift store make this a cultural "must" when in Harlem. The lower level features research materials that are rare and worthy. Have pen & paper handy to take notes.

The depth of history here and access to less publicized black history knowledge is amazing. There is often access to great events with well-respected thinkers and trendsetters.

This museum has curated thousands of volumes of African-American literature! In honor of Black History, see some noteworthy examples of African-Americans' accomplishments: http://bet.us/BHM
