    "The healthiest communities are those that are built around active libraries, museums, and other cultural centers, that have a strong sense of their own history and identity, that have good quality schools, along with mechanisms for involving their residents in the process of solving problems and planning for the future. Supporting these kinds of communities is what the state humanities councils are all about." - Esther Mackintosh, FSHC President, at a White House briefing

Reaching out to a broadly-based and diverse audience, RICH recognizes that the complex stories of ‘ordinary’ Rhode Islanders deserve a prominent place in our state’s long and distinguished history.
