As Latine Heritage Month unfolds, it’s crucial to spotlight the contributions of Afro-Latine figures who have shaped history and culture. Among them is Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, a Puerto Rican historian whose work remains vital to preserving Black history in the U.S. His legacy lives on through the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, a landmark institution named in his honor that is a tribute to his tireless efforts to document and celebrate the African diaspora.
