Episode description

On this episode, we revisit powerful stories from indigenous Rhode Islanders who describe what it is like to grow up Native American. Then, we take a second look at how a gift of books from Benjamin Franklin changed a town and helped start a movement for public education. Finally, we return to the Providence Athenaeum, a historic library with fascinating stories to tell.
