Join us for an evening of performance and conversation as Mahogany L. Browne, Lincoln Center’s inaugural poet-in-residence, shares her latest poetry collection, <i>Chrome Valley</i>. Browne's writing is an invitation to sit awhile with the experiences of being a Black woman in America, while making room for our imaginations to construct new ways to approach the world. Max Michael Jacob will accompany her on bass and she'll join Novella Ford, Schomburg's associate director of Public Programs and Exhibitions, in conversation.</td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" style="background-color:transparent;min-width:100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:10px 0px 20px"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td align="left">

Women's History Month: Sheroes in the Schomburg Center's Collections
</h2>"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. </td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" style="background-color:transparent;min-width:100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:10px 0px 20px"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td align="left"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border-radius:3px;background-color:#ffffff">
