- What if I told you that the modern-day Prince Hall #38 Mason Lodge in New York City was entirely Spanish-speaking prior to 1900 and the person who was integral in making the switch from Spanish to English was a Black Puerto Rican who was the pioneer in the collection and archiving of Black history in the Americas and beyond?
If you're talking about Blackness and not talking about Latin America and the Caribbean, you ain't talking about shit.
Everybody knows that the father of Black history is Carter G Woodson.
The "Father of Caribbean/South American History" is a more fitting title. Black Americans had already been documenting our own history for 150+ years before he was born.
Facts 👍🏾
Right
Way before that, but thats the only information from here. African American is one thing but the history is another one. The history goes way back before The slaves came here in the Mainland. They stop in many countries and they were send in different places.
Facts the museum has artefacts from África. It always had a section on United States slavery. He was friends with greatest Civil rights leaders of the twentieth century
. Facts you critics have never been to the museum.
@@ottolevine978 i think I know more history and have more knowledge than you little gossip stories that you guys documented here in the US. Again go out of the US and then come back and give me your opinion! And see if your still believe the lies that they have told you all your life. You guys believe everything that “BoB” or “Uncle Mo” says or invented!
Father of Black History would be Dr. Carter G. Woodson
Thank you
Id go with Dr Ben myself but i aint mad at u
@@dendora9 Dr. Ben? Last name?
@@TheDesmondfain with all due respect if you dont know who Dr Ben is then we need not continue this conversation. My bad we are not on the same page
Imagine how damaged you guys are, that y’all talk about “entitlement” and look at y’all!! Mimicking da yt men.
“We are the only ones” “only our blks matter”,
Y’all have a problem with everybody!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Y’all have a problem with Hispanics, Ricans, yts, Asians, Arabs. 😂😂😂 I mean, what is wrong with y’all?😂😂😂😂
I appreciate and respect this guy. He is a part of the diaspora, however calling him the "Father of Black history" is a stretch and borderline insulting.
Very well stated and 💯 on point 👉🏽 👈🏽
That was her point in doing that.This is why foundational Black Americans must delineate.
Nah, he is not a part of the diaspora. The diaspora consists of Black people spread throughout out the world, it's called the Black or Afrikan Diaspora, and Afrikans/Blacks ain't mixed.
@@ShadowMan23914 he wouldn't have existed without the Diaspora, therefore he is unquestionably a part of it. Use your brain, not your hate.
@chrisleon5918 The Diaspora is the collective of Black people all across the world separated by slavery due to the kidnapping of our ancestors. We, as a collective, are not responsible for his existence. You are calling me stating facts hatred, but the truth is you just ain't comprehending the fact that you can't be apart of something when you aren't even a member. He ain't black. Therefore, he ain't Afrikan. Therefore, he ain't apart of the Afrikan/Black Diaspora. It's that simple, so please don't insult my intelligence when you haven't shown an ounce yourself, sir.
You can be "black" and still be "Puerto Rican" one is a race the other is a nationality. Please visit The Schomburg Center if you're ever in Harlem. You will not be disappointed.❤
Some people don't get the difference in race( bloodline)and nationality(region of residency).
@@jg4life yeah I know. Once had a "serious" conversation with someone about the actor, Idris Elba. I spent what felt like HOURS trying to explain to her that he's black AND British. She kept saying "he's not black like us" and I kept replying "yes, he's black but he's a black Brit" People think only black people in America are "black" if you come from another part of the world you can't be black. 🤣🤣
@@TheOlskool4ever well, honestly speaking, the color chart was invented by the Caucasian, who became civilized later on in the game, because they were dwelling in the Caucus Mountains waring with each other. Prior to that, indengenous people identified themselves through ethnicities and tribes, as many still do today. So, black and white was an invention devised to capitalize and further promote this invented western system. They gained dominion thru diabolical powers, and many of us believe in this system. So, when people who look indengenous do not identify as black, it's understandable, but your DNA don't lie and will tell you your humble bloodline beginnings, even after migrating to wherever.
@@TheOlskool4ever I have had this discussion so many times. Especially when I was living in NYC. I actually had a woman tell me point-blank that my ethnicity wasn't black. "Y'all don't know about slavery and oppression". My ancestors were enslaved in the Americas roughly a hundred years before hers arrived in Virginia. and freed themselves roughly a hundred years before Gettysburg. They managed to hold on to almost half of the Yoruba language, history, and culture but we were the ones that weren't black. It's just plain ole American conceit. America is the center of the world, if it didn't happen here it doesn't count SMH. They feel they get to define everything and everyone. It's no way to foster community
@@jg4life Race being tied to your "bloodline" is literally what nazis believe
No he was a Black Man who is Puerto Rican
Carter G.Woodson is our father of black history so stop. We have nothing against Puerto Rico, but you will not make put out a narrative that we should look to Puerto Rico as setting the trend of black history.
not hard to believe .
Puerto Rican isn't a racial designation; it's a cultural, or geographical one. So, Puerto Rican doesn't mean *not* Black.
2023 and you think these people would know this by now. Slaveholders just sold our people off to whomeever had the cash. 2023 and some of our people holding on to these title they gave us.
But black rooted threw slavery

Saying Peurto Rican's can't be black is like saying Texans can't be black, or that moving to New York makes you not-black anymore. Peurto Rico is a place, a place owned by the US. It's like going to Florida, but a boat ride further south.

@@papichulo8749 they are liars, tainos were extinct when the Europeans arrived. That’s why they brought Africans slaves to fill their void to work the fields.
@@ChromeMan04 What you’ve stated is factually incorrect. Tainos were the original slaves until many died “not all” primarily due to illness. The Africans were brought in later to make up the difference in human labor. Some Tainos escaped to the mountains and those Tainos women who stood behind, survived and bore children with either white or black men and assimilated. Of course you won’t find “full” 100% Tainos as we are mixed with European & African blood, but the bloodline and cultural influences still exists. If every single Taino man, woman and child became extinct completely and utterly, I wouldn’t be alive today. The Taino DNA that embeds in our generational bloodline is primarily through the mitochondrial line (female line). The Taino lineage, culture & influence still exists to this day.
Everybody look up Carter G. Woodson. When Schomburgs teacher told him black people had no history. He learned from Woodsons writings and moved to Harlem during Renaissance. Woodson started black history month. How can Schomburg be the Father of black history.

@clisediagonzalez5010 and his Puerto Rican Azz has nothing to do with America nor the history of America. He discovered the history white people hide from immigrants.

Either way he contributed to black history. The only difference between a black person in the states and a black person in the Caribbean or South America is a boat stop. OUR history is EVERYWHERE.
I have to disagree, because I can make the reverse argument. What if I said, Black Americans are the Founders of Black Puerto Ricans culture/history. Yes, we all had different boat stops, but each country has established a different history and culture after 500 years!! I don’t have any Puerto Rican heritage, and that’s probably true for most Black Americans. We’re not against PR culture & history, but it’s just not ours!❤😌🇺🇸

He is not the father of black american history. He had to come to america to learn about black Americans from our black american historians and leaders. Black americans were writing books about our plight for many years before he came to america. You can't be the father of a history that you were not born into. Having collected information about our history does not make him the father. What will be written from here on about black american history, though will be how various races and other ethnic groups has come together to participate in the Genocide, Ethnocide and Erasure of our people group. Something black america has never done to anyone on the planet. Our hands are clean.
African Americans are not the first blacks in america. Blacks were bring to America first by spaniors and the oldest African American in USA are the ones from the South because spaniors brings them. Besides that the Caribbean have longer and richer african history and culture than USA. In here we are not talking about African American we talking about Afro. We the yoruba religion and history from all around the globe. In USA the black history and slavery is the shortest one of America. Look at Venezuela they have the first African king in America a slave that born in San Juan Puerto Rico made his own black kingdom in there, and the pylgryms were a babies in those times.
@@CarlosHernandez-og6my you cut yourself america is a continent so no matter where africans were brought first, they would still be african- americans by the default term. plus if your name is carlos hernanadez you can't be from a place with richer african history, it sounds like spain to me.
@@CarlosHernandez-og6myno sir, there were aboriginal blacks on this land. Who would trade with the moors from Spain and Africa. These Moors were from Africa and they conquered Spain. There was some in house fighting within the moor structure and the Europeans consolidated their resources to be one power structure and took over Spain and parts of Africa. When Spain and Christopher Columbus traveled, to get resources from the new found land, far away, which was supposed to be India honestly but Christopher Columbus lied to the courts and never went to India. That's why Christopher Columbus was put into jail for years after he returned from his voyage but he heard about this new land from a moor, by the name of Pedro Alonso Nino, he has Nino guide him to the land with the great winds. This factual story is to let you know, the last name was of a dark skin African from Africa, who was a moor and this was way before the Hispanic race or the Hispanic ethnic group, even existed. I say y'all have been into existence for 500 years max! I traced my lineage back 500 years to this land 1526, black American or FBA.

He's a father of Black Caribbean/afro-latin history in the United States. Black Americans was already documented in our history in the United States. Still he like many other had to mask himself under Black Americans and I'll give him his props, he was on code.
So no other people of African descent kept historical records or created literature of black history prior to him?

Carter G Woodson and Schomburg we’re both born at roughly the same time. They both made major contributions to black history, as did many many other people during that period of history.

As someone of Afro and Native Puerto Rican Heritage from my father's side, I am absolutely disgusted with some of these comments in this section that are trying to say that an Afro Puerto Rican is not black if they have Spanish or native in their blood. Do all dark skin black Americans think that they are full-blooded black?? Take a DNA test, I guarantee you you'll come back with some type of European, Native American, or some other non black race in your blood. This toxic gatekeeping of Blackness that says that you're not black unless you are heavily melanated really, really needs to stop. There is nothing wrong with representation, but there is everything wrong with discrimination and being hateful. And just like colorism has been a problem, so has hatred from dark-skinned blacks towards light-skinned black and black mixed people.

Is that fair?? Have you studied Black American history starting in 1619, since some of you say we have no history/heritage/culture outside of PR, for example! Again, is that fair??❤
He is an important figure but not the founder of Black History.
and who do you think is ?
My dad sent me this and told me about his story. We’re New York Puerto Ricans and try never to miss going back home for Puerto Rican pride celebration because we reside in California now
So am i but i PR but will not go back to puerto rico the place is too ghetto
@@allborosnyc4544 My sister actually said the same thing when she visited last yr. Some areas are still ok but you’re right😂
Finally black people learn about him….He was a beast for black history culture…
Yeah, just like Pedro Albizu Campos. He fought for the rights of black Americans before Malcolm X and MLK , but black Americans know nothing about him cuz he was the wrong type of black”.
@@gg5508...please provide information.
Correction, he was one of the first historians of African American history, whether the very first I don't know, but definitely not the Father of Black History, for one, he wasn't involved in making that history as a Slave in America or as a descendant of Slaves who are the only candidates who can hold that title. I am not attacking this sister, just letting it be known a Historian or collector of someones history or even of their own people history can't be the Father of that History.
How can a Puerto Rican I've never heard of be considered the father of black history. The fact is: American born black people are the platinum standard, the face and icons of black people the world knows and recognizes 😌
Because he isn’t this is made up PRs have always being trying to place themselves next to or above us Black Americans for years idk what’s wrong with them it’s like some trype of sick obsession or something they make up all kind of lies and stories to either put us down and place Themse in our place or above and it’s o Ly going to get worse as they become the second minority group in America they have always been racist to us then want to claim that we were Buddy buddy as if the people who lived thru it are not still alive to
Speak about and I’m not talking about the kids a**** either I’m talking about the ones who do not hate themselves and are willing to speak the truth we have always been seperate it has never been a Black & Brown coalition that has been media hype and black people praying 🙏🏿 for help that never ever came! Now them are some Factz for their a**!!!!

They are breeding black Americans out.
He is Black plain and Simple. It is what it is? It's time to stop running from the truth. The Black Puerto Ricans, Thr Cubans, The Dominicans are all apart of Africa just like some Black African Americans. We're are all the same just different Culture?
Thank you so much for this, I had no clue his mother was from St. Croix, many Puerto Ricans now live on that island! Thank you so much for sharing our history!!! I just subscribed.
You can't be the Father of Black History AND a Puerto Rican. Need to find out what a Puerto Rican is first.
They are The Same people, South American Tanio Natives,some of the original copper color people found in America! , Now labeled as Black. I dont think you know what a Puetro Rican is, Have you done any reseach before saying that ?
@@user-jw7cx8kc8b Yes I know what a Puerto Rican is; I posed that question for you to research your notion of what a Puerto Rican is.
To make a long story short the Black race is not the trash can for the "tainted." Whites labeled " them" as Black because they didn't have the full White pedigree but still they don't have the full Black pedigree either.
Of course, through our ignorance and low self esteem we have accepted to be as a race the trash heap of eugenic mutts which is disrespectful .
We say " we are of all shades😊" but the truth is those shades are indicators of where some stand in the gradient of impurities.
There are Black people not mixed with anything: pure virgins genome wise fresh out God's oven: Clean.
No Neanderthal, monkey, fruit fly, or other species of creatures that some how crept in the human genome but are standard in many races.
That's the physical gradient line as object "black" skinned people.
But Black Americans have a lineage that makes them even more distinct but I'm done 😊
The diaspora touched almost every country in the western hemisphere. Puerto Rico was one of the first. It's the oldest colony in the west. The African heritage runs too deep and cannot be excluded. Almost every Puerto Rican has an African relative. The cool thing is they all call themselves Puerto Rican proudly: Africans, Boriquas, and European types. We can learn a vital lesson from Puerto Ricans about unity. Now it's time to magnify that unity here in the U.S.A.
LOL, you sound like a fool
@@Blackpplehave2blackparents I hope you are not PR, because if you are it's sad that you don't know the history of your homeland. Over 70% of Puerto Ricans are a mixture of Taino, Spanish(white) and African. Live with it.

Cater G Woodson plays a really big role in this yet no mention.
Facts. They actually worked together. She conveniently left that out.
He is a black Puerto Rican!
Y’all do know it’s black Puerto Rican everywhere right?
Correct, it does not matter your nationality(country in which you were born) DNA from sub Saharan Black is the common denominator.
I think the reason for this is because there are people who say they have never seen a Black Puerto Rican, or there is no such thing as Black Puerto Ricans. As you say, we are everywhere❤
No the reason is as follows:
Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.
Negro History Week (1926)
The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week".
Carter G. Woodson was a scholar whose dedication to celebrating the historic contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976.

I attended a black church in Indiana and they had no clue when it came to slave history in the Caribbean. It was a strange experience.
Look up the father of public education in Puerto Rico.
Great work!!👍👍👍👍👍
Do you know in depth Black American history, which is a great part of American history?? Because our history is so extensive that we’re still learning great things about our own history that was hidden. Puerto Rico isn’t Black American history, although we know they were enslaved too!

Schomberg definitely contributed to black history. But for this person to try to make a Puerto Rican the father of black history is laughable and despicable at the same time. How can someone be the father of history when they weren't even around before or during slavery? All of a sudden, people who never wanted anything to do with being black are trying to claim black history. FOH. There were so many great black leaders and champions who came before, during and after Arturo Schomburg..
What does this have to do with black American history?
That's what I'm saying!
Black Americans university dissed this guy way back then when he was trying to combine our history . He was told specifically by Black Americans way back then that we are concentrating on telling our own history and not no combined black Latin bs .
If it wasn’t for him black history would be lost. He represents African history not black or Puerto Ricans🇵🇷✊🏾
This is lie from pits of hell. He did want to combine all African descendant history. His library is a testament to that. We as AA just want want to focus on ourselves which there is nothing wrong with that

You got it twisted Son! He's NOT the founder of Black History, fact check before you try to document something in your comments... Reporting something because it will make somepeople feel good or because they think they're making a gigantic step towards a undocumented fact is not the way to do it so when you are listening to someone reporting something do your own background check on what's being reported...
@@BoricuaNyc Black history is about Black American history, not about the history of people. Only the FBA'S!

Girl seek help. my Fellow African Americans had already been doing this, we already had our own history and documents.
No we didn't. No one on the planet had (or has) the enormous amount of information, literally from around the world, like Arturo Schomburg (which you can find visiting the Schomburg Center). No one. The man literally went around the world collecting information on Black history and cultures. His collection of Black world history was so vast (and unmatched by anyone) that In 1926 the Carnegie Corporation funded The New York Public Library’s purchase of Schomburg’s full collection for $10,000 and honey back then that was considered a lot of money. The father of Black history week (later changed to month), Carter G. Woodson literally referenced Arturo Schomburg in his lectures. Thank God I had parents that had me visiting the Schomburg in Harlem as a young girl and I have always loved history, especially Black history because is Mystory. Please read before putting this stuff out there. This is the information you'll find if you ever visit the Schomburg: libguides.nypl.org/arturoschomburg

Father of Black History Month.
Much honor and remembrance to Arturo Schomberg and his legacy, for dedicating his life to documenting and collecting the memories of the people of the diaspora. The Schomberg Library is world renown and is still a pivotal source for one of the largest, if not the largest, collections of authentic writings and photos of the black experience, even up to today. Visiting the Library should be on your to do list while in Harlem.
I'm glad that there was a Pan African effort to preserve our collective history. This is great.
Did you know Puerto Rican is a Nationality
Yes I read about him; quite an amazing man.
I wouldn’t call him the father of anything in that title, but a lot of people came to this country willingly and decided to attach themselves to the problem that was going on with FBA’s; I don’t like the word African-Americans because a lot of Africans do not even see themselves as one of us let alone Caribbean people. A lot of Indians in Bengalis that fit the description of the FBA also crowned themselves, part of the black community to obtain the resources that foundational black Americans paved for others to have an easy transition when entering in this country. I give the man kudos for trying but we have to have a understanding that, while these people are trying to make things better here for the Negro, but their country is in a worst state back then let’s not forget how rich this man got off of the backs of foundation black Americans. He became very wealthy during that time and he lived in New York, New York.
So few people will give us our due without being reminded that we deserve it. While I am glad the interest is there, the intellectual properties of our people are constantly being challenged by those who may or may know any better but should do their due diligence before publishing something that might erroneously diminish the accomplishments of those who truly paved the way.
Majority of “africans” americans are indigenous to the americas, however, all the world knows is the European narrative:”y’all came from the west coast of Africa” not completely true at all.
not surprised and a lots of Puerto Ricans don't want to say they have black in them. 1 of my old Puerto Rican neighbors refused to have black people in her home but i met their grandmother and she is a black Puerto Rican

It definitely didn't start with him . He contributed, but I don't think he was the first
I recognize all of the great work that Arturo Schomburg contributed. But I think it is more accurate to say that he is "A Father of Black History"and not The Father of Black History ". We must remember that he was working at the same time as Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of the Association for The Study of African American (Negro) Life and History, the organization that created Negro History Week which became Black History Month. -VSW
Well put 💯
What great work? He didn't do anything.
Yes I did know that. I wish Puerto Ricans knew this and celebrated this fact.
They do. But just as in the US. You have white Puertorrican who don't care, because it has nothing to do with them.
Ammm..... Guess you never heard of Carter G. Woodson. The creator of Black History month.
Well Puerto Ricans are a mixture of African, Indian and Spanish so it's no surprise Although many deny , ignore or don't know their Black heritage .

THERE IS NOT SUCH THING AS BLACK CULTURE, YOU CAN PROVE ME ERRONEOUS IF YOU CAN, ON A COURT OF LAW WILL BE A DREAM COME TRUE. SALUDOS
LOL Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was born in 1874. How the hell is he the "father of black history" when he joined the "American Negro Academy" in 1914. You may want to read about George Washington Williams...his most substantial achievement was as a historian. He wrote groundbreaking histories about African Americans in the United States: The History of the Negro Race in America 1619-1880 was published in 1882, or go study Carter G. Woodson.
That’s what make you butt hurt? Study Carter G Woodson history is not the only one that count go back and visit the real background of the Negro History! Go to Africa, go to the Caribbean, go to South America and learn from their history so you can understand what really the history is. Not the book that is in AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY! Go deep!!
Dnt forget the first puertorican nationalism was Albisu Campos another Afro 🇵🇷
In March 1925 Schomburg published his essay "The Negro Digs Up His Past" in an issue of Survey Graphic devoted to the intellectual life of Harlem. It had widespread distribution and influence.
The autodidact historian John Henrik Clarke told of being so inspired by the essay that at the age of 17 he left home in Columbus, Georgia, to seek out Mr. Schomburg to further his studies in African history.

@@jmedina7158are you saxon?
@@jmedina7158 Spoken just like someone named medina.
Being that slavery of black africans began in Puerto Rico in 1517 and in the USA began in 1619, that means that Puerto Ricans have had black african heritage over a century before there were any blacks in the USA so yes, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was born into black history and I'll leave it as that.
As for those claiming that Puerto Ricans are white bc SOME OF THEM have light skin, the black africans that were brought to the island as slaves (again since 1517) mixed with the Tainos (equivalent of Native Americans in the USA) and the spaniards that enslaved them both and that's why we come in all skin shades, hair textures, nose sizes and shapes, butt sizes you can imagine.
In my own family alone I have all those physical characteristics and then some as is the case in so many Puerto Rican families.
So yes, althought not all of us are dark skinned, the african heritage and blood runs and has been running in our DNA for the past 500+ years.
Being black is not a social club limited to so called "african americans" only.
