June 13, 2025
The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is one of the largest repositories of Black history in the country. The center hopes to spread awareness of that fact Saturday as it celebrates its centennial at two marquee annual events. The Black Comic Book Festival and the Schomburg Literary Festival on Saturday will feature readings, discussions, workshops, cosplay and a vendor marketplace. The center’s leaders have curated over 100 objects for an exhibition that tells the story of the center’s people and the place that shaped it. Celebration of the center’s centennial is expected to continue for a full year.
