Tanya Rivero reports from Harlem. HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture unveiled plans for its milestone 100th anniversary celebration on Tuesday.

Schomburg made the curation his life’s work. In 1926, the New York Public Library acquired over 10,000 of his items, which led to the creation of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

The Schomburg’s previous director, Kevin Young, a poet and editor, left when the Smithsonian named him the director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Schomburg sold his collection, which included over 10,000 items, to the New York Public Library in 1926. In 1972, the center was renamed to honor Schomburg.
