Tour #8
Sharing the Stories: The Hidden Black History of College
Hill
Stroll the neighborhoods, visit the
sites and hear the stories of innumerable men and women
whose contributions built Rhode Island’s African American
communities from their earliest days.
Led by Ray Rickman, a former
state representative from the College Hill area, and a
promoter of African American history, this fully narrated
tour encompasses the touchstones of Black heritage in Rhode
Island.
Neighborhood walking tours and interior
tours of several important sites are part of this day. Your
motorcoach will meet you at the lower (easternmost) parking
lot of the State Capitol building and transport you to sites
important to our history, as Americans of any hue.
