	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": "Schomburg: Cultural Education & Empowerment " by John Anthony Lugo
		Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, the Puerto Rican educator and social reformer, is popularly known for his involvement in the social and literary movement known as the "Harlem Renaissance" and for the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City.
		Schomburg's objective was to neutralize the apparent ignorance and deliberate distortion of world history perpetuated by those he referred to as "charlatans." He challenged any claim that Blacks were inferior and developed an unquenchable thirst for knowledge related to the accomplishments of people of color in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
		Schomburg noted, in one of his ethnographic studies of distinguished Black and Hispanic scholars and leaders, that the motivational behaviors contributing to their achievements and educational aspirations were associated closely with their cultural awareness and identity.
