We had a fantastic morning with a guide who was both entertaining and informative. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the city and its political history from someone with a background in state government. They were especially knowledgeable about the contributions of Black Americans to Rhode Island. I highly recommend this experience.
I discovered fascinating, lesser-known stories about impactful figures in Providence, such as the black girl who advocated for high school education for black students, the Narragansett's tale depicted on the downtown mural, and the Bannister family's love story. I also learned about the Door rebellion, which was entirely new to me. It was an enjoyable and well-executed experience.
