I love and respect brother Malcolm. He was always a raw teith tellerwannd always wanted black people to do for self. He made souch sense. ❤

This interview happened in 1961. He was speaking the wisdom of Elijah Muhammad here.

Used to love this place! The best Johnny Cakes and bear steaks!

This man was ever bit as racist as any racist ever was racist.

The Theater by the Sea at Matunuck was just as famous as Trinity Square and many top stars performed there.

I was a baby but my mom said there were warnings of a 'storm' but she never realized it was a hurricane. We were supposed to move to a new house. Mid morning the movers called and said they weren't coming. Maybe the word got out late or wasn't specific enough.

No doubt this film shows all bright spots no eyesores. Providence was a mix of both according to my grandmother born 1884. A very vibrant diverse city even then.

Great presentation! I was happy to see Steamroller momentos and mentions at the Superbowl this year.

Never forget that he turned away from separatism in 1964 when he went to Hajj in Mecca. He saw black, white, asian Muslims all united in a religious observance and realized that universal brotherhood was the way forward. MLK won the argument, not pre 1964 Malcolm. He was killed for speaking out and rejecting separatism.

I enjoy all Malcom X's speeches they are all very informative and truthful. Bro Rican.

Once the Washington Bridge fiasco is finished, perhaps building a new Mount Hope Bridge (alongside the renovation and conversion of the existing Mount Hope Bridge into a bike/pedestrian-only bridge afterwards) should be next on RIDOT’s list.

This man was spot on!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤May Allah Bless Bless Him ❤❤❤❤May Allah Bless us with more brothaz with His Spirit and Love of Truth and our people ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He threw me when he said honourable Elijah Muhammad 🤔

I wish there was a video of Raymond Patriarca in his speedo

My 2nd great grandfather left Marieville in the 1830s and moved to Dunham, QB, Vermont, New York, Ontario and eventually settled in Michigan in 1860. He assimilated so well it took us until last year to learn his French name and trace our roots back to Quebec. So many of my questions were answered in this talk and I have a few new ideas to explore. Thank you, Mr. Patrick White and the RIHS!

Total separation isn’t that what a bigot wants? What happens to those who are already of mixed race in the Americas? If all ethnic groups want total separation what happens to those of biracial and tri racial ethnicity? Assuming that all of any people are like minded is in my opinion incorrect and leads to indiscriminate actions some of which may be violent against individuals who have done no harm to anyone.

13:15 must be Conimicut Point. Never knew of this deadly spot in the Upper Bay.

My grandmother worked the mills in Woonsocket. She returned to N.H. I’m 3rd generation American. All my ancestors are Canadian. Both sides. Nova Scotia/ Three rivers Quebec. DNA shows Mi’kmaq and also a 5th great grandfather who was a black man. Surprise, surprise.

I remember Carol. We lived on the 3rd floor in a house on Greenwich St in Providence. I looked out the window facing Bucklin St and saw my friend come out of his house and try to walk around his house. The wind was so severe, he had to hold on to the fence as he walked so that he would not blow away. I was 7 and he was 8. We both weighed about 80 pounds soaking wet.

I am interested in why the exodus is happening. I do not speak French, nor is my background French.

Listening from Georgia, USA

The black community been in reverse since his death.

In one of the surfing sean you can see the old Brenton reaf light tower in the ocean.

Ranger McNiff is well-deserving of a "Special Commendation" for some Colonial Historical Society..!! He is a fantastic speaker, story-teller and intelligent person. I just watched 4 or 5 videos on the 'King Philips War' for my own education and enlightenment, and this was my favorite.... I really like Colonial History, the most overlooked, underappreciated and least known & taught segment of our Countries History. And, likely the most significant as well. But, unfortunately, we have a bad habit of ignoring our ugly past, and creating 'Hallmark Holiday Stories' like the heart warming version of Pilgrims & Indians sharing a Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner together.... Thank You for your honesty, knowledge & compassion. As George Orwell wrote in 1984; "Who controls the Past controls the Future. Who controls the Present, controls the Past". He also wrote; I like to say; "Ignorance is YOUR Bliss, not MINE".... and "To LIVE is to LEARN"..!!

Never trust someone who wishes to disarm you.

amazing how much Providence has moved forward nationally but has so many of its rich history still intact.

3 years later and they're still not all gone. Promises, promises.

This bridge still hold records

Listening To A Bunch of Malcolm Speeches, I can see Why Now Why White America Choose MLK Because Malcolm was To Real With His Delivery! He IMO was The Most Feared Blackman In the Pass 100yrs Bar -None The Man Was Absolutely Incredible One of Best Human Truth Teller Ever !

Thanks for the warm fuzzie memories. I lived & worked in Woonsocket in my youth (I'm 81 now).Went to Mount class of 1960 & , worked @ Finkelstein, US Rubber & other mills shown, shopped @McCarthy's, Saturday matinees @ Stadium ($.16 cost), OLQM RI baseball champs '60'. Retired now in Florida. Great people & experiences to live a life.

love the old cars

In this area there are references to this war all over the place. From school names to street names yet no one has any idea what happened. Including me until I got curious and turned to you tube!

The government kill him they uses turncoat black people to do their dirty work

Intelligence isnt measure by grade system macolm prove that

Facts 💯

Do you have any knowledge of this?loved the king Philips war with national park ranger lecture looking forward to more.

My family history has a note about Aron or Thomas Benedict negotiating with a chief after being appointed by the Dutch.And having tried to intervene as a minister in the dire swamp slaughter.

Notice they never mention the name Providence. Not even once! Only a 10 second clip of it with "overcrowded cities and smokestacks" as the voice over. 🤣🤣🤣 Like - "Nothing to see here folks, btw have you heard of Newport or Narragansett?"

I am the grandson of Elphege Daignault. I never met him as I was born eight years after he died in 1937. The whole Sentinelle thing was a bit of a secret in our house and it wasn’t until years later that is was revealed to me by some of the older folks around Woonsocket. I had a copy of the book that Elphege authored on the Sentinella Affair, but it was in French and as an engineering major in college I was not especially fluent in French. I figured that I would remedy this by having the book translated to English. I was put in touch with two well educated brothers who translated books written in French. They were the Christians in Boston, MA. They offered to do it for free. Once the translation was completed I received a pdf copy which I printed out. It was then that I was hooked on this bit of history. I ensured that the Museum of French History, and the French Genealogical Society both in Woonsocket got a copy. The Christian brothers also sent a copy to the Library of Congress. It was an absolutely professional job. I also requested that they translate the French book, The History of the French -Canadians in New England. That one took a while longer to complete as it is about 500 pages in length. This book was also placed in the above listed organizations for future readers. Two absolutely good books that I would encourage anybody to read. As I grew up I would after go visit my grandfather’s gravesite. It was in the Daignault plot at Precious Blood Cemetery on Rathburn Street in Woonsocket, RI. There were two pillow markers one each for my grandfather and grandmother with a very large monument in the center of the plot. Several of my ancestors including a brother who died in 1937 are buried there. As it turned out I went to live and work in Florida in 1970 and infrequently returned to Woonsocket to visit relatives still living there. It was in 1994 that I went back there and when I went to the cemetery I saw that both Elphege Daignault’s gravestone and that of his wife were missing. Somebody had removed them. I called the cemetery office and was told that they had no record of any renovation to the plot. What surprised me was that the cemetery had no record of Elphege’s burial, but they had a record of my grandmother’s burial in 1969. I was one of her pall bearers. When the grave was dug I saw Elphege’s crypt directly aside where my grandmother’s crypt would go. He was there! I verified that no exhumations had taken place and was on the warpath. It was interesting that the cemetery’s record showed that my grandmother grave was next to Elphege’s grave, but there was no record of Elphege’s grave. Somebody had erased his record. This happened shortly after the Woonsocket Call had a four week Sunday Special Article on the Sentinelle Affair. Apparently somebody in the Catholic Church was upset and wanted Elphege to disappear. My brother and I decided to have my grandparents’ information carved into the front of the main stone in the center of the plot. That stone easily weighs about 8,000 pounds so it’s not going anywhere soon. As the cemetery’s records were being held by Precious Blood Church so the erasure of Elphege’s record was done with their knowledge and approval. If anybody is looking for Elphege Daignault’s grave it should be easy to find in Precious Blood Cemetery. I would encourage anybody with a nose for history to visit Elphege’s gravesite. There’s a lot of Woonsocket history there. I should mention as a side note that my maternal grandfather and his wife are also buried at Precious Blood Cemetery. His name was Odilon Pelletier, but he usually went by his nickname of Ti Rouge (Little Red) because of his red hair. He too was a member of the Sentinelle Group who got excommunicated along with about sixty others. He operated a barber shop on Front Street in Woonsocket a couple hundred feet from the courthouse where Elphege practiced law. The two men had a friendship that spanned decades. My uncle Ray Pelletier continued the barbershop after Odilon passed away and operated it until his death around 2010. My grandfather Odilon Pelletier died in 1971 while I was undergoing Navy flight training in Pensacola, FL. Given the rigors of the program was enrolled in I was not able to get leave to attend his funeral. I still have my memories of him as being a staunch French-Canadian who adhered to all of traits of the Sentinelle Movement. I should say that he was one tough dude and without a doubt was master of the house. God bless them all!

Corey Roberts, malcolmx, greatest black leader, of all-times!!!

My French Canadien family is from there!

Very well done. Thank you for sharing your research. ❤

Remember it well. My mother remembered, 1938 also.

Total separation

The roaring 20's

wow. i am exhausted after watching this video, and need a recovery vacation :)

Before this country was white erased, people seemed visibly more at-ease and relaxed in their environment.

Our family came from both Quebec, and Acadia, Some settled in the Dakota Territory (Ours primarily in the Bottineau County area). Some routed through Rhode Island.
