Cuban Roots Bronx Stories Archive Goes to Schomburg Library

It was a proud day in August, 2024 when we delivered the archives of Cuban Roots Bronx Stories to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. All the original footage and interviews filmed in the Bronx and in Cuba will be digitized and made available to researchers interested in Afrolatinidad, Cuba, the 1960s Bronx, and US-Cuban relations. Pictured with the cart of goods are film protagonist Pablo Foster, Director Pam Sporn, and Shola Lynch, Curator of Moving Images and Recorded Sound.

What a great idea, I thought.
