Schomburg (1874-1938) Puerto Rican historian, writer and activist[/caption]

This year’s Schomburg Symposium examines the migratory challenges of Afro-Latinos in the Americas and how societal differences and geographic locations affect politics and civil rights. Regardless of location, there are common experiences and distinctions in the adaptations and responses that Afro-Latinos have made to economic, racial and social pressures.  This symposium takes into account the advancement, or lack there of, that has happened over time.
