Label TextDedicated to Aminah Robinson's son Sydney Edward Robinson, this volume chronicles specific people and events in African American history, both of local (Columbus, Ohio) and national importance. Along with Volume 7 (see in a case nearby), Contributors showcases the extensive research and writing Robinson has engaged in over the last several decades—looking into and bringing to light the history of African American contributions to American culture, science, and business that have so often been overlooked or under-appreciated.Published ReferencesThe Ragmud Collection: Books by Aminah Robinson, Toledo, Toledo Museum of Art, 2010.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Aminah Robinson: Voices that Taught Me How to Sing, Nov. 19, 2010-Feb. 27, 2011.
