🎥 Reposted from @bese Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance movement. The Puerto Rican historian, writer, art collector and activist argued for educational curriculum to include Afro history. Schomburg spent much of his life educating others on the great contributions that Afro-Latinxs and Black Americans made throughout history.

Today, his large collection of art can be seen at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City.

Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Schomburg was an ardent bibliophile and self-taught historian, who demonstrated the worldwide contributions of people of African descent. By tirelessly collecting books, documents, artwork and other materials, Schomburg rescued black history from obscurity and preserved priceless cultural knowledge for future generations. Today, a @nypl location @schomburgcenter in Harlem is named after him.

The stamps feature stylized pastel portraits of the four honorees, based on historic photographs. Each stamp incorporates African-inspired motifs as background elements. The design elements reflect the increased interest in African culture, history and aesthetics shown by the writers and artists of the Harlem Renaissance. The artist for these stamps was Gary Kelley @garykelleyart and art director Greg Breeding @breedingdesign designed them.
