Book Launch: public scholar Robb Dimmick on his new book, Disappearing Ink: A Bibliography of Books by & about Rhode Island African Americans. 
5pm reception, 5:30 program, followed by book sale and signing

The outcome of year of research by Dimmick, supported by a grant from the RI Council for the Humanities, Disappearing Ink assembles an extraordinary history of African Americans’ contributions to the literature of our state. With nearly 900 entries, the bibliography evidences the surprising amount of material on the subject of Black life in RI, a state whose geographic smallness belies its enormous accomplishments.
