A MATTER OF TRUTH: The Struggle for African Heritage & Indigenous People Equal Rights in Providence, Rhode Island (1620-2020)

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, stablishing subcommittees focused on recommending strategies to increase equity citywide.
