(2) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Velasquez. In free verse, Weatherford tells of Arturo Schomburg's (1874–1938) widespread impact on literature, art, and music as book collector, avid reader, and prominent figure among New York's black literati. Velasquez's richly detailed oil paintings aptly capture Schomburg's zeal for learning and for teaching others. Framed images imbedded in the narrative focus on important black historical figures. A must-read about a bibliophile extraordinaire. Timeline. Bib.
