Arturo & John

“Sit down son. What you are calling African history and Negro history are the missing pages of world history. Son, go study the history of your masters, go study the history of the people who enslaved you and find out why they found it a necessity to remove an entire people from the respectful commentary of the history of the world.”

- Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (an Afro-Boricua master scholar of African history) to his then protege, Dr. John Henrik Clarke (an African-American master scholar of African history)
