In luminous paintings and arresting poems, two of children's literature's top African-American scholars track Arturo Schomburg's quest to correct history. Where is our historian to give us our side? Arturo asked. Amid the scholars, poets, authors, and artists of the Harlem Renaissance stood an Afro-Puerto Rican named Arturo Schomburg. This law clerk's life's passion was to collect books, letters, music, and art from Africa and the African diaspora and bring to light the achievements of people of African descent through the ages. When Schomburg's collection became so big it began to overflow his house (and his wife threatened to mutiny), he turned to the New York Public Library, where he created and curated a collection that was the cornerstone of a new Negro Division. A century later, his groundbreaking collection, known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, has become a beacon to scholars all over the world.Binding Type: Hardcover

Looks nice

It looks very nice. It has a streamlined design, not big and bulky. Quality is ok. I really like the look of it.

Compact
Color: Silver
Size fits well on back of sink. However, the bottom needs some kind of non slip traction as the unit slides a lot. Had to put something under it to keep from moving around.

This was a very disappointing purchase
Color: Silver
This kitchen soap dispenser with sponge holder looks really nice in the picture, but..... it is so......flimsy. It is so lite weight that it almost falls into the sink every time I try to dispense dish washing soap. I was really looking for something rather heavy in weight (because of the metal) but elegant looking. I guess this is just one of those items that you actually need to see and feel before purchasing. I kept it because I needed some kind of soap dispenser after another soap dispenser, of which I purchased from Amazon over a year ago, it was made of plastic, and it broke. It was heavy and really looked nice on my sink. I guess I am still looking for a good one.
