At New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building

Midtown

See a 19th-century Quran with an extraordinary NYC story: this small, unpretentious volume, chosen by Mayor-elect Mamdani for his swearing-in, once belonged to Arturo Schomburg himself. Its modest black and red ink binding belies its power as a symbol of accessibility, representation, and civic pride.
