Schomburg Lives! and cookies in a bag.

Here we have my new friend Adina- she likes to carry free cookies from our training program in the pocket of her backpack...this is why we are friends. Oh, and she also lives a block fro me.


It's interesting that this is the graffiti that we saw out of the bus on the way home. Just yesterday we visited the Schomburg collection at the 135th St. New York Public Library, where he organized and collected MANY of the remaining art, literature, photographs and beyond from the Harlem Renaissance. Very cool.

This message actually was in East Harlem, or Spanish Harlem, which would make sense, since Schomburg was a Puerto Rican immigrant at the time, making important history that represents both sides of Harlem.
