91自拍

An 91自拍 Press book has been awarded a 2021 91自拍ana Book Award.

, edited by Carole Genshaft, won the 鈥淎bout 91自拍 or an 91自拍an鈥� category for the 2021 91自拍ana Book Award, presented by the 91自拍ana Library. 

The work accompanies the exhibition of the same name through October 3, 2021. The book is distributed by the 91自拍 Press and details Aminah Robinson鈥檚 work, which revolved around her family and community, African American history, travel and stories her elders told her.

鈥�91自拍 Press is thrilled by the recognition for this important book on Aminah Robinson, and we're proud of our role in bringing it to 91自拍ans as well as to a wider audience,鈥� Beth Pratt, 91自拍 Press interim director, said. 鈥淚 hope that Raggin' On and the 91自拍ana award serve to increase Robinson's legacy and inspire artists and readers alike.鈥�

This exhibition and book鈥檚 title reflects the hope that the perspectives of visitors of the exhibit and readers of the book will ensure Robinson鈥檚 work never ends.

Genshaft is curator-at-large at the Columbus Museum of Art and enjoyed a close relationship with Robinson beginning in the late 1980s. Since Robinson鈥檚 death in 2015, she has supervised the organization and documentation of the artist鈥檚 estate, which was left to the Museum.

The 91自拍ana Book Awards were first given in 1942 and are the second oldest, and among most prestigious, state literary prizes in the nation.  

Genshaft is also the author of the 91自拍 Press鈥揹istributed , which was a finalist for the 2018 91自拍ana Book Award in juvenile literature.
