When his collection began to overtake his house, he brought it to the New York Public Library, where he created and curated a collection now known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, one of the greatest primary source repositories of the output of the Harlem Renaissance! The book is also available en español. Schomburg: The Man Who Built a Library by Carole Boston Weatherford and Eric Velasquez tells the story of an Afro-Puerto Rican law clerk who collected letters, music, and art from Africa and Black American creators. The book tells her rise to fame on the stages of 1920s Broadway, and how she dedicated herself to supporting and promoting works by fellow Black performers – not unlike Beyoncé herself! Harlem’s Little Blackbird is a picture book biography by Renee Watson and Christian Robinson about Florence Mills, one of the most popular Black performers of the Jazz Age. That Is My Dream! is a picture book in which illustrator Daniel Miyares adapts his poem, “Dream Variation,” in which a young Black boy in confronted by the harsh reality of segregation and racism over this day, but he dreams of a different life – one full of freedom, hope, and so many possibilities! Langston Hughes was an author who was also one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Don’t get heated, because we’re about to get all up in your mind and recommend some books for young readers – both about the European Renaissance (of the 15 th and 16 th centuries) and the later Harlem Renaissance (of the early 20 th century) – that might impel you to move your self to the closest bookstore. So, take that plastic off the sofa and get cozy. We thought we’d use it – or rather its title – to create this week’s reading list.

He added that people "no longer want to be held hostage by tech monopolies," an apparent reference to WhatsApp's changing its terms of service. The vast majority of new users were from Asia, Europe and Latin America, he said. There's little indication that pro-Trump extremists make up a sizable proportion of those users. On Tuesday, Durov posted that Telegram had passed 500 million monthly users, with 25 million of them having joined in the previous three days. Parler's future remains uncertain, and its CEO has publicly doubted whether it will return. But Apple and Google recently removed the Parler app from their app stores, and Amazon Web Services, which hosted the service, kicked it off, saying it violated its terms of service. Some conservative users had flocked to Telegram from Parler, a Twitter-like platform regarded as a safe haven for right-wing speech. Twitter banned more than 70,000 accounts that pushed QAnon conspiracy theories, and it and Facebook have banned Trump's accounts, citing fears that he will use them to incite more violence. Those efforts were accelerated after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol last week, however.
