A true story; When my grand father retired and tried to collect his old age pension at 65 , he was turned down because they told him he was not Canadian citizen. He was actually born in Rhode Island . His parents moved back in Quebec when he was two years old. lived and went to school, worked for 38 years for Hydro Quebec but was actually American. At 65 he had to apply for his citizenship and was quite upset about having to go to the process. A true story !

I don't know what year my Champagne side came to Lawrence, MA. My grandfather worked in the tool and dye o industry and owned his own 3 family home. His father made furniture..

I am a descendant of the Franco Americans from New England. The Corriveau family settled in Caribou Maine with a potato farm. My grandmother from that family moved to Lawrwnce in tge 1930s. She started at Converse Shoes and retired in the 1970s from Converse as an accountant. Pauline Corrivesu Champagne.

Super grateful this is posted! I’m so fascinated by my family history and wish it was more written down! This work is amazing than you!

So good.

Exactly, it is abuse not love. Kids are not punching bags. Beating them does not help anything. Parent better. Be better. Beating a defenseless child. Fight some equal to you coward.

He’s been trying to reach us 60 years ago, and every thing he says is coming to play today !!

I love and respect brother Malcolm. He was always a raw teith tellerwannd always wanted black people to do for self. He made souch sense. ❤

This interview happened in 1961. He was speaking the wisdom of Elijah Muhammad here.

Used to love this place! The best Johnny Cakes and bear steaks!

This man was ever bit as racist as any racist ever was racist.

The Theater by the Sea at Matunuck was just as famous as Trinity Square and many top stars performed there.

I was a baby but my mom said there were warnings of a 'storm' but she never realized it was a hurricane. We were supposed to move to a new house. Mid morning the movers called and said they weren't coming. Maybe the word got out late or wasn't specific enough.

No doubt this film shows all bright spots no eyesores. Providence was a mix of both according to my grandmother born 1884. A very vibrant diverse city even then.

Great presentation! I was happy to see Steamroller momentos and mentions at the Superbowl this year.

Never forget that he turned away from separatism in 1964 when he went to Hajj in Mecca. He saw black, white, asian Muslims all united in a religious observance and realized that universal brotherhood was the way forward. MLK won the argument, not pre 1964 Malcolm. He was killed for speaking out and rejecting separatism.

I enjoy all Malcom X's speeches they are all very informative and truthful. Bro Rican.

Once the Washington Bridge fiasco is finished, perhaps building a new Mount Hope Bridge (alongside the renovation and conversion of the existing Mount Hope Bridge into a bike/pedestrian-only bridge afterwards) should be next on RIDOT’s list.

This man was spot on!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤May Allah Bless Bless Him ❤❤❤❤May Allah Bless us with more brothaz with His Spirit and Love of Truth and our people ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He threw me when he said honourable Elijah Muhammad 🤔

I wish there was a video of Raymond Patriarca in his speedo

My 2nd great grandfather left Marieville in the 1830s and moved to Dunham, QB, Vermont, New York, Ontario and eventually settled in Michigan in 1860. He assimilated so well it took us until last year to learn his French name and trace our roots back to Quebec. So many of my questions were answered in this talk and I have a few new ideas to explore. Thank you, Mr. Patrick White and the RIHS!

Total separation isn’t that what a bigot wants? What happens to those who are already of mixed race in the Americas? If all ethnic groups want total separation what happens to those of biracial and tri racial ethnicity? Assuming that all of any people are like minded is in my opinion incorrect and leads to indiscriminate actions some of which may be violent against individuals who have done no harm to anyone.

13:15 must be Conimicut Point. Never knew of this deadly spot in the Upper Bay.

My grandmother worked the mills in Woonsocket. She returned to N.H. I’m 3rd generation American. All my ancestors are Canadian. Both sides. Nova Scotia/ Three rivers Quebec. DNA shows Mi’kmaq and also a 5th great grandfather who was a black man. Surprise, surprise.

I remember Carol. We lived on the 3rd floor in a house on Greenwich St in Providence. I looked out the window facing Bucklin St and saw my friend come out of his house and try to walk around his house. The wind was so severe, he had to hold on to the fence as he walked so that he would not blow away. I was 7 and he was 8. We both weighed about 80 pounds soaking wet.

I am interested in why the exodus is happening. I do not speak French, nor is my background French.

Listening from Georgia, USA

The black community been in reverse since his death.

In one of the surfing sean you can see the old Brenton reaf light tower in the ocean.

Ranger McNiff is well-deserving of a "Special Commendation" for some Colonial Historical Society..!! He is a fantastic speaker, story-teller and intelligent person. I just watched 4 or 5 videos on the 'King Philips War' for my own education and enlightenment, and this was my favorite.... I really like Colonial History, the most overlooked, underappreciated and least known & taught segment of our Countries History. And, likely the most significant as well. But, unfortunately, we have a bad habit of ignoring our ugly past, and creating 'Hallmark Holiday Stories' like the heart warming version of Pilgrims & Indians sharing a Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner together.... Thank You for your honesty, knowledge & compassion. As George Orwell wrote in 1984; "Who controls the Past controls the Future. Who controls the Present, controls the Past". He also wrote; I like to say; "Ignorance is YOUR Bliss, not MINE".... and "To LIVE is to LEARN"..!!

Never trust someone who wishes to disarm you.

amazing how much Providence has moved forward nationally but has so many of its rich history still intact.

3 years later and they're still not all gone. Promises, promises.

This bridge still hold records

Listening To A Bunch of Malcolm Speeches, I can see Why Now Why White America Choose MLK Because Malcolm was To Real With His Delivery! He IMO was The Most Feared Blackman In the Pass 100yrs Bar -None The Man Was Absolutely Incredible One of Best Human Truth Teller Ever !

Thanks for the warm fuzzie memories. I lived & worked in Woonsocket in my youth (I'm 81 now).Went to Mount class of 1960 & , worked @ Finkelstein, US Rubber & other mills shown, shopped @McCarthy's, Saturday matinees @ Stadium ($.16 cost), OLQM RI baseball champs '60'. Retired now in Florida. Great people & experiences to live a life.
