I asked questions, here are my answers

The schomburg is a museum/library dedicated to a part of the history /heritage of the Black populace in the U.S.A. 
It was started by Schomburg, who is black, but the schomburg has always rejected the various perspectives of black history or heritage in the usa for a focus on integrated heritage , the segregatory/militant/nationalistic heritages in the black populace in the usa have always been downplayed, not unwanted, but not emphasized, not exposed.

the Schomburg started as part of the 135th street branch until it expanded beyond it. So the schomburg was always apart of the new york public library system which i argue is the largest library system of any city in humanity. 

Where I live, Harlem has a chamber of commerce since 1896 but it was started by whites and has always been a unenthusiastic advocate of black ownership, even in harlem itself. 
The following is the alliance of black chambers of commerce in the usa. the international section is informative.

The closest to my locale is the long island

I signed up to their newsletter, i suggest you all find your local and if you don't have one in the city you live in, let's talk abd maybe we can figure out how to start one.

My birth state is Pennsylvania and I honestly do not know!

 Yes, I stumbled across Black HIstory in Hawaii some years ago and was shocked!
