From pivotal social justice movements to the personal narratives of unsung heroes, Voices of Resilience offers a deeper understanding of Providence’s identity and legacy of courage, resistance, and triumph. Explore how Rhode Island’s involvement in the international slave trade fueled the Industrial Revolution, how suffragists challenged the political establishment, and how activists fought for LGBTQ+ visibility during Providence’s first Pride celebrations.
Meet remarkable figures like Edward Bannister, a Black barber who rose to national acclaim as a painter, Princess Red Wing, a Narragansett and Pokanoket activist, and the workers behind the massive 1902 labor strike that brought Rhode Island’s urban core to a standstill.
A minimum of four guests is required for tours to run. If fewer than four guests are booked, we’ll contact you the morning of the tour with refund or rescheduling options.
