Women's History Month: Sheroes in the Schomburg Center's Collections "She
is the reason we are the Schomburg Center," said Center Director Joy L.
Bivins of curator and librarian Jean Blackwell Hutson. "Her footprints are
all over this institution. This does not exist without her." Hutson
championed what was then known as the Division of Negro History, Literature
and Prints of The New York Public Library (NYPL), into becoming one of
NYPL's research libraries. In 1972, the division became the Schomburg
Center for Research in Black Culture and years later housed in a separate
building. Hutson, legendary activist Ella Baker, groundbreaking sculptor
Augusta Savage, award-winning playwright Lorraine Hansberry, beloved writer
Zora Neale Hurston, and many more phenomenal women have materials in our
collections. Discover more sheroes who left powerful legacies.
