Dear Friends of the Schomburg,
The story is now legend.
As a young boy, when told that Black people had no history, Arturo Scho
mburg began amassing the irrefutable evidence… books, manuscripts, art, photos, film, music and more… that formed the foundation of the Schomburg Center.
In his quest, he understood that he couldn’t do this essential work alone. He called on his friends in Harlem -- Langston Hughes, Aaron Douglas, Zora Neale Hurston, and many more -- to help him. As a result, the Schomburg Center has become not only the preeminent intellectual center of the African Diaspora, but also one of the premier research libraries of The New York Public Library.
Like Mr. Schomburg, we are calling on friends like you to stand with us in support of the Schomburg Center, particularly now during one of the most fiscally dire times in the history of the Center.
Recent and proposed budget cuts have threatened critical key elements of the Schomburg's activities. These include our award-winning public programs —films, exhibitions, lecture series, symposia, and more. When our programs are cut, our ability to share stories of the African Diaspora in an authentic voice with audiences of all ages and races is put at risk.

You’ve been an active participant in the life of the Center, either online or at our locations in Harlem, and we deeply appreciate your involvement. Now we’re hoping you’ll increase your commitment to the Center during this time of need and become a member of The Schomburg Society today. Join with the many other people from across the country who have come to understand that protecting and preserving the legacy of Africana history and culture is simply too important to be left to others. I hope we can count on you to join with us. Thank you.
Warmly,
Howard Dodson
Chief
P.S.> Not only will your membership in The Schomburg Society afford you a variety of benefits, but you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to the sustenance of this remarkable institution. Thank you again.

I know that the relationships between Latino and white male lovers may not set well with many of us, but I know of a case in which a mixed Latino male who has not had any success dating black men and crossed the racial line. However, he has discovered that men regardless of their race and ethnicity can be disappointments. The phenomena may be a reflection of the difficulties that male to male relationships have into developing positive relationships. Other factors than race and ethnicity are much more important such as mutual love, respect, admiration, and authentic affection and having common values would help. Just a different take on the subject. Besides interracial relationships are still considered taboo by many races including black African Americans.
