Invisible People, Untold Stories: Voices of Rhinebeck's Black Community Prompted by the Rhinebeck Post Office Murals.
2021
Prompted by public controversy over the depiction of enslaved Blacks on the wall of the Rhinebeck Post Office created by local artist Olin Dows under the direction of then US President Franklin Roosevelt, this book is meant to provide context for anyone viewing the murals. The books are regularly used in Rhinebeck public schools.
