The Memories behind the Memorials: Hannah Robinson and Roger Williams
Manage episode 344539395 series 3313764
This week, Frances and Caitlin look at two notable figures in Rhode Island history. The first is Hannah Robinson, for whom a memorial tower was built, and who, due to heartbreak, has been felt by the community for centuries. The second, is the man himself, Roger Williams. He was kicked out of multiple settlements in the newly "discovered" Americas for being too religious - while advocating for separation of church and state. This episode looks at the stories behind these graves, even when the legend seems greater than the facts.
