The Rhode Island Black Heritage Society (RIBHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to procuring, preserving, and promoting the history of Blacks in Rhode Island. With a focus on collecting historical artifacts such as books, art, papers, and images, RIBHS aims to facilitate the interpretation of history and enlighten others about African Diaspora descendants' heritage.

RIBHS offers a range of services and programs to achieve its mission. They organize exhibits, research projects, and events that provide insights into the creative survival and contributions of African descendants in Rhode Island. Through lectures and other educational initiatives, they encourage and promote the study of Black history.

Founded by Rowena Stewart and a group of dedicated individuals, RIBHS continues to expand its outreach and ensure a more inclusive program. Their board of directors and advisory committee, along with managing director Theresa Guzmán Stokes, work tirelessly to document and advance the culture of the African Heritage Community in Rhode Island.
