In luminous paintings and arresting poems, two of children's literature's top African-American scholars track Arturo Schomburg's quest to correct history. Where is our historian to give us our side? Arturo asked. Amid the scholars, poets, authors, and artists of the Harlem Renaissance stood an Afro-Puerto Rican named Arturo Schomburg. This law clerk's life's passion was to collect books, letters, music, and art from Africa and the African diaspora and bring to light the achievements of people of African descent through the ages. When Schomburg's collection became so big it began to overflow his house (and his wife threatened to mutiny), he turned to the New York Public Library, where he created and curated a collection that was the cornerstone of a new Negro Division. A century later, his groundbreaking collection, known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, has become a beacon to scholars all over the world.Binding Type: Hardcover

Very quiet and comfortable keyboard
Color: Black
I recently purchased this keyboard and mouse set to replace my old one, and I’ve been very pleased with it so far. The keyboard keys are soft, responsive, and surprisingly quiet, which makes typing much more comfortable. The mouse also has a smooth, soft-touch feel that fits nicely in the hand. Overall, the set feels well made and like a great value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable keyboard and mouse combo.

It should last, but could be much better.
Color: Black
The keys are quiet and the keyboard should last a long time. Being a flat keyboard, I find myself hitting two keys at the same time frequently, and prefer the style with raised, tapered keys. The mouse times out and needs to be woke up by right clicking, but other times seems to lose connectivity entirely. Overall, I wish for something better

Great low price option for wireless keyboard
Color: Black
I’ve been using this ergonomic wireless keyboard and mouse for a bit now, and I’m honestly really happy with it. It’s super lightweight, and setup was as simple as plugging in the USB receiver; everything worked right away without me having to mess with any settings.
The keyboard feels great to type on. The keys are soft and quiet, and the adjustable tilt makes a noticeable difference for my wrists during longer work stretches. I also like having the full number pad and the shortcut keys, little things, but they make my day-to-day work smoother.
The mouse is comfortable and easy to control, and I haven’t had any issues with the wireless connection at all. No lag, no random disconnects. Battery life has also been impressive so far.
Overall, it’s easy to use, comfortable, and does exactly what I need it to. I’m definitely happy with the purchase.

Exactly what you need
Color: Black
This is a perfect and conformist up. Excellent spacing between keys and the number section is comfortable to use because it is large enough to make it a comfortable set up
No instamtions issues and no communication issues with it and my Lenovo Think Pad
