Hughes’s ashes are interred beneath a medallion in the floor outside the auditorium named for him. The center holds his papers and is the major archival resource for Harlem Renaissance research. In the fictional 1958 Harlem: a bookworm might visit the library and find it populated with characters from Hughes’s stories. In real-Harlem: the Schomburg is the research hub for investigating the 1958 world.
