Abstract
Abstract: Despite the prominence of his world-renowned archive, the writings of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg have been largely understudied, especially in relation to Christianity. This article argues that Schomburg’s writings espouse a Black Christian ethics of collaboration and pioneering social service that is underpinned by the social and ethical teachings of Jesus Christ. Schomburg’s ethics appears in the form of critical reflections, which occur when the double movement of his narrative creates a point of inflection, causing a slippage that opens a threshold that allows for the decentering and (re)weaving of the fabric of history.
