Roberto Clemente was passionate about two things: baseball and helping others. The Puerto Rican right-fielder was a Pittsburgh Pirates his entire professional career. In 18 seasons he became a 12-time All-Star, Golden Glove winner who took his team to the World Series twice, once as MVP. When not playing he dedicated his time to family and indigent communities throughout Latin America where he regularly provided food donations and sports equipment. He died en route to Nicaragua when the plane he’d filled with supplies for earthquake victims crashed shortly after takeoff. Clemente was the first Latino player to be inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame just after his passing.

#HispanicHeritageMonth|#30Men30Days| Arturo Alfono Schomberg  

When a teacher told a schoolboy in Puerto Rico that Black people had no history, Arturo Alfonso Schomberg took the statement as a challenge. The self-identified Afro-Borinqueno went on to dedicate his life to chronicling the lives and achievements of Black people across the world and became a founding father of the Black Studies movement. Schomberg was born in 1874 in Santurce, Puerto Rico to a free black midwife from St. Croix and a German merchant. He completed high school and went on to the Virgin Islands to study black literature at St. Thomas College. As a writer, historian and activist he took his skills to New York City in 1891 at just 17 years old and worked as a researcher for a law firm all while writing and documenting the Afro-Latino and African American experience in the U.S. In New York he became part of the Puerto Rican and Cuban independence movements and a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance. His personal archive of writings, documents and art numbered in the thousands by the time they were bought by the New York Public Library. He was hired to curate his collection and continued accumulating information from across the world. The collection grew to a division which grew to a center and was renamed The Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture in 1940 two years after his death. It’s safe to say Schomberg accomplished his mission.
