Poet Maya Angelou’s personal archive has been bought with private money and is going to be housed in the New York City Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, NY, according to an article in today’s NY Times. The archive will enhance the center’s outstanding collection of art, artifacts, manuscripts, books, photos, etc., and reflects the library’s mission to acquire the best examples of black culture.
