The following sentence appears in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry for Arturo Alfonso Schomburg: Over the years, he collected literature, art, slave narratives, and other materials of African history, which was purchased to become the basis of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, named in his honor, at the New York Public Library (NYPL) branch in Harlem. As written, it commodifies "African history" as subject, in its entirety, to purchase. This sentence should be revised grammatically to reflect that what was purchased were "materials." Thank you
