Jueves 8 de junio de 2012 ? Fallece el inmortal gestor de los Estudios Afroborinque\u00f1os y Afroamericanos: Arturo Schomburg<\/p>\n

Un d\u00eda como hoy, hace 74 a\u00f1os, falleci\u00f3 el inmortal Padre de los Estudios Afroborinque\u00f1os y Afroamericanos: Arturo Schomburg.<\/p>\n

El gran legado de la vida y obra de este gran boricua, Arturo Schomburg, comenz\u00f3 de algo que le dijo una maestra en Puerto Rico cuando a\u00fan era ni\u00f1o. Ocurre que su maestra le dijo que ‘los negros no tienen historia’. Ni corto ni perezoso, a lo largo de su vida, Arturo Schomburg se dedic\u00f3 a mostrar cu\u00e1n equivocada era la premisa que le hab\u00edan pretendido dar por cierta.<\/p>\n

John Anthony Lugo resume el rico legado de Schomburg seg\u00fan expone a continuaci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n

‘Arturo Schomburg set out on a one-man mission, accompanied only by his own Latino and African multi-cultural ancestry, to provide proof of the extraordinary contributions of the peoples of African descent. Schomburg was himself a microcosm of the global issues he studied and integrated. If he were living today, he would discover the existence of many of the same social issues he fought to eliminate. He would also find progress. He would see that his efforts were not in vain and that his philosophy of education, which emphasized cultural enlightenment is being practiced. Today, the educational community recognizes that an awareness of one’s culture is essential for developing the attitudes, behavior, values, and skills necessary for academic achievement and positive, responsible behavior. Universities and even some high schools offer Latin American studies, Black history and literature courses. Bilingual programs, bilingual teachers and cultural sensitivity are being utilized in all levels of education. Today’s educators realize that cultural education is an empowerment strategy that works.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Schomburg believed that cultural education could create cultural pride, which he described as the self-esteem that results from a shared knowledge of the strengths, creativity, resilience, values, formal and informal practices, social structures, language, religion, art, science, and inventions of a particular group of people. Cultural pride continues to be essential for Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities who are frequently the victims of racist stereotypes and negative attitudes. In the words of Schomburg, ‘What is a luxury for the nation as a whole becomes a prime social necessity for people of color’.’<\/p>\n

Hoy, en el 74 aniversario de uno de los boricuas m\u00e1s destacados en la historia de la Naci\u00f3n Puertorrique\u00f1a, honramos y rendimos tributo a Arturo Schomburg por haber enriquecido m\u00e1s aun a nuestro rico Puerto Rico y a nuestro mundo entero.<\/p>\n

‘No existe ni siquiera un s\u00f3lo \u00e1mbito entre todos los renglones de los adelantos e invenciones de cada industria en que los africanos no hayan contribuido contundentemente a las mejoras que los buscones de oro y cazadores del placer se les pas\u00f3 c\u00f3mo hacer dicha contribuci\u00f3n.’<\/p>\n

-Arturo Schomburg, ‘El Afroborinque\u00f1o’<\/p>\n
