A MATTER OF TRUTH The Struggle For African Heritage & Indigenous People Equal Rights in Providence, Rhode Island (1620-2020) The examination and documentation of the role of the City of Providence and State of Rhode Island in supporting a “Separate and Unequal” existence for African heritage, Indigenous, and people of color. This work was developed with the Mayor’s African American Ambassador Group, which meets weekly and serves as a direct line of communication between the community and the Administration. What originally began with faith leaders as a means to ensure equitable access to COVID-19-related care and resources has since expanded, establishing subcommittees focused on recommending strategies to increase equity citywide.

How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island
How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island For the Summer 2008 issue of Rhode Island History, former director of the Naval War College Museum, Anthony S. Nicolosi, contributed the article, “Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, U.S.N, and the Coming of the Navy to Narragansett Bay.” While the article may prove too specialized to directly translate into your classroom, the themes and topics raised within the piece can fit easily into your lesson plans. We have created a handful of activities for your classes based on the role that Narragansett Bay has played in creating the Rhode Island in which we now live. The first activity is an easy map exercise. We have suggested a link to a user-friendly map, but if you have one that you prefer, please go ahead and use it! The goal of this activity is to get your students thinking about the geography of the state so that they can achieve a heightened visual sense of the bay—to help them understand its fundamental role in our development. The next exercise, which is more advanced, asks the students to do research into the various conflicts into which this country has entered. It then asks them, in groups, to deduce what types of ships, weapons, battles and people played a part in each of these wars, and of course, how they relate to Narragansett Bay. We hope that your students will approach the end result creatively by styling their charts after maritime signal “flags.” Exploring the Ocean State Rhode Island is the smallest state, measuring forty-eight miles from North to South and thirty-seven miles from east to west. -

Foxes in Rhode Island
Foxes in Rhode Island Like many carnivores, foxes have at times been both persecuted and valued by humans. They have been pursued by trappers for the value of their fur and as a game animal by hunters. Because they were perceived as livestock predators and as competitors for game, many states, including Rhode Island, at one time offered bounties for foxes and other predators. Today management approaches and public attitudes towards foxes and other predators have changed. Many people value the experience of seeing one of these beautiful animals in the wild. The public understands the important role that predators play in regulating abundant species of small mammals, and foxes have adapted to living in close proximity to people. Trapping and hunting of furbearers is highly regulated to insure the long-term viability of populations, and bounties are no longer used in Rhode Island. Despite past efforts at suppression, foxes continue to thrive and are an important part of our wildlife community. Description: There are two species of foxes in Rhode Island: the gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Both fox species are characterized by an elongated snout, pointed ears and a bushy tail that is carried horizontally. The red fox has an orange-red coat with black fur on the feet and the back of the ears, a white belly, and a white tipped tail. There are variations in coat color, with some individuals ranging from gray to black, but the white-tipped tail and black feet are distinctive identifying marks of the red fox. -
Mr. Mark C. Jewell 148 Bemon Street #2 Woonsocket, RI 02895 Dear Mr. Jewell
U.S.Department of Transportation 400 Seventh St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590 Federal Highway Administration May 25, 2004 Refer to: HOTO-I Mr. Mark C. Jewell 148 Bemon Street#2 Woonsocket,RI 02895 DearMr. Jewell: Thank you for your May 7 letter to the Federal Highway Administration's Associate Administrator for Operations, Jeffrey F. Paniati, concerning the safety and operations of shared-usepaths in Rhode Island (RI). Mr. Paniati has asked me to reply to your letter. We understand and share your concerns related to the RI State policy that requires pedestrians to "walk on left, facing bicycles." This requirement is potentially very confusing to pedestrians becauseit is different from the behavior that is expected of them on shared-usepaths in other States. The Manual on Unifonn Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is the national standard for the design and application of all traffic control devices, including regulatory signs and pavement markings. However, the MUTCD does not govern the States and local jurisdictions in their authority to enact laws, regulations, and policies to regulate the use of roads and paths under their jurisdiction by pedestrians and other users. While we cannot require changes in RI State laws or regulations, we welcome the decision of the RI Department of Transportation to review their policy and consider changing it. We believe that the safety and convenience of all path users in RI would be best served by having the paths regulated in the same manner as other States, particularly the adjoining States. The pavement markings on 1he path shown on the photos you sent appear to be particularly confusing and they do not confonn to the MUTCD standards.
