aspects of the complex relationship of the African diaspora to Latin American culture. With presentations by distinguished scholars, this event offers the opportunity to deepen knowledge and understanding, foster dialogue, and educate audiences and speakers alike. Carnival, Brazil Arturo A. Schomburg (1874-1938) was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico to María Josefa, a freeborn black midwife from St. Croix, and Carlos Federico Schomburg, a merchant of German heritage. Schomburg was educated at Puerto Rico’s Instituto Popular, and at St. Thomas College, in the Danish ruled Virgin Islands, where he studied Negro Literature. One of his teachers claimed that blacks had no history, heroes or accomplishments. This patently biased claim inspired Schomburg’s life long quest to find the truth and to document the accomplishments of Afro-Latinos. In 1911 Schomburg co-founded with John Edward Bruce the Negro Society for Historical Accomplishments. Today, Schomburg’s collection of literature, artifacts, music, and art is housed in New York City at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a component of the New York’s Public Library system. Taller Puertorriqueño 2721 N. 5th Street Philadelphia PA 19133 The Annual Arturo A. Schomburg Symposium explores different Vejigantes of Loiza, PR 18th Annual Arturo A. Schomburg Symposium AFRO-LATINO MASKS: ROOTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND CULTURAL PRACTICES Arturo A. Schomburg (1874-1938) nació en Santurce, Puerto Rico en el 1874. Sus padres fueron María Josefa, una comadrona de raza negra nacida libre en la isla de Santa Cruz, y Carlos Federico Schomburg, un comerciante de ascendencia alemana. Schomburg se educó en el Instituto Popular de San Juan, Puerto Rico, y en el Colegio danés de St. Thomas, Islas Vírgenes. Uno de sus maestros le comentó que los negros no tenían historia, ni héroes, ni logros. Este prejuiciado comentario inspiró a Schomburg a dedicar su vida a investigar y documentar los logros de los y las Afro-descendientes en el mundo. En el 1911 Schomburg co-funda, con John Edward Bruce, la Sociedad Negra para Logros Históricos. La colección que Schomburg logró reunir incluye un gran número de obras de literatura, artefactos, música y arte. Esta se encuentra actualmente localizada en la ciudad de Nueva York, en el Centro Schomburg para la Investigación de la Cultura Negra, el cual forma parte de las bibliotecas públicas de la ciudad de Nueva York. 2721 N. 5th Street, Saturday, February 22, 2014 Philadelphia, PA 19133 9 AM - 5:00 PM Registration options/Opciones para registrarse: In person/en persona: Taller Puertorriqueño @ 2721 N. 5th St., Philadelphia, PA 19133 Baranquilla Carnival, Colombia Carnival in Pinotepa, Mexico Phone/ teléfono: by using your credit card/usando su tarjeta de crédito llame al: 215.426.3311 Register online: http://tallerpr.org/event/18th-arturo-a-shomburg-symposium/ Admission includes: Continental Breakfast and Lunch/admisión incluye desayuno ligero y almuerzo.
