In luminous paintings and arresting poems, two of children's literature's top African-American scholars track Arturo Schomburg's quest to correct history. Where is our historian to give us our side? Arturo asked. Amid the scholars, poets, authors, and artists of the Harlem Renaissance stood an Afro-Puerto Rican named Arturo Schomburg. This law clerk's life's passion was to collect books, letters, music, and art from Africa and the African diaspora and bring to light the achievements of people of African descent through the ages. When Schomburg's collection became so big it began to overflow his house (and his wife threatened to mutiny), he turned to the New York Public Library, where he created and curated a collection that was the cornerstone of a new Negro Division. A century later, his groundbreaking collection, known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, has become a beacon to scholars all over the world.Binding Type: Hardcover

Pricey, but Now I Get It
Color: Matte Black/Black Polarizedarized, Polarization Type: Polarized, Lens Width: 50 Millimeters
So I’m not the kind of guy who’s going to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of shades just because they say Oakley or Ray-Ban or whatever. If that’s you, that’s cool—I’m not judging. I just can’t justify it. But when the opportunity to check these out came along, well, of course I had to try them. And let me tell you, now I at least get it.
The quality of these sunglasses is so much better than I would have expected—and frankly, way better than anything I’ve ever owned—that I could probably stomach the price if I had to buy new ones. The frames feel both heavy-duty and lightweight at the same time. The lenses are absolutely spectacular. I’ve had other polarized glasses, and they’re good, but these are on another level. The clarity, protection, and color are all top-notch.
The style, for me, is a little more miss than hit, but they look a lot better on my wife, so it’s a win for her. I’m a big guy with a big melon, so while these are great-looking sunglasses, they’re a bit small for my face. If I was going for a certain look, they might have done the trick, but this is all subjective anyway. If you love the way these look online, you’ll love the way they look in person.
Even if the style didn’t quite suit me, I’d say my only actual complaint about the glasses is that they have very flat frames. If you don’t have a perfectly straight nose or face, they may feel a bit crooked when you’re wearing them. And since there’s no way to adjust them, there’s no way to fix that. Fortunately, not only do these fit and look better on my wife, but this wasn’t an issue for her, and I suspect it won’t be for most people. However, if you’re the type who typically has to adjust the nose pads on your glasses, these might not work for you.
Overall, the design and quality of these sunglasses are so good that even though they didn’t really work for me, there’s simply no way I can’t recommend them. The price is higher than I’d usually consider, and for the cost I do wish they came with a hard case instead of just a sleeve. But that’s a minor nitpick—and I get the price now. You really do get what you pay for. If you’re like me, you might feel a little buyer’s remorse when you hit “purchase,” but I assure you, once they arrive and you put them on (assuming you like the way they look and fit), you’ll have a hard time going back to anything less. Buy with confidence.

Great retirement gift
Purchased this as a 43 year retirement gift. He absolutely loves it. At first I wasn't sure about the orange detail but it makes the watch stand out. Excellent purchase.

Great - just not for me.
Yep! It's jazzed out with everything you need for a beautiful, Sporty chronograph. My key attraction was the red colored second hand until I actually held it. Not so easy to see in various light as I had hoped for. Otherwise, a great Quality watch from a great legendary company!
