There Is No American History Without Black History!
The work we do at RIBHS is made possible by the support of many. Please join them and us, by making a donation today. Together, we will continue to tell important stories, inspire young people, and preserve the history of the African diaspora in Rhode Island.
As one of the oldest African Heritage organizations in the country, the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society is dedicated to recording, retaining and interpreting the history and accomplishments of people of African descent in Rhode Island.
Our primary mission is the preservation of African Diaspora descendant’s historical artifacts – books, art, papers and images, as well as facilitating the interpretation efforts by those seeking to enlighten others about our heritage
