Who was Roger Williams?

This is a video about a Founding Father of America that is often looked over. He has done many great things, one of them being founding the state of Rhode Island.

There are multiple descendants of Roger Williams in this comment section (me included!); anyone else find it fascinating how the internet has brought all of us together under this one video? Like a virtual family reunion! 😂🎉

Hey, I am also related to Roger Williams on my grandma's side. She actually went and obtained copies of all the birth certificates from Roger Williams to herself.

Roger set the stage for "We the People" and the Bill of Rights

I descend from Roger Williams also

[@JCPJCPJCP]

I lived in Providence for many years and visited all the landmarks associated with Roger Williams many times. As far as I know, no representations of his image are known to exist; no sketches or paintings that might have been made of him while he was alive are known to exist. Nobody knows how he really looked.

The loudness of the "background" music is very distracting.
