Library as a legacy
Library as a legacy: start by investing in some good books
about collecting African American books.
It's probable that when Arturo Schomburg
bought his first book, he had no real designs on assembling
a treasure trove that would last generations after him.
Yet the works collected by the renowned Harlem Renaissance--era
scholar evolved into the Schomburg Center for Research
in Black Culture and now provide service for hundreds
of thousands of knowledge-seekers annually.

A home library need not be as ambitious, but with some
thought and solid selections, it can transcend mere
decoration and become as essential a tool to a household
as that cookware set.
For African Americans still struggling to see themselves
reflected accurately in the broader media, there are
few better sanctuaries than a personal assembly of books,
films, DVDs, maps and magazines--a mission akin to Schomburg's.
So after years of schlepping around, you're now ready
to feed that appetite consistently, having settled into
a space with some room to roam. And to get going, you'll
need more than an assortment of fiction titles.... You
can read more.
