For those who might be interested, the mural pictured in the Journal's story was painted by a WPA artist, I forget his name and for all my growing up years hung in the Wakefield, RI Post Office. When the post office was sold by the federal government, the mural went to a historical society in the South County area. I remember looking at it as a child when I was with a grown up getting stamps or sending something off. It was a history lesson, in some ways, more effective than books. -----Original Message----- From: Gloria [mailto:gjs11054@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 8:58 AM To: RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [RIGENWEB] DeWolf-Slave Trade in RI For those who are interested, today's Providence Sunday Journal begins a story on Rhode Island and the slave trade. http://www.projo.com/extra/2006/slavery/ Gloria ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== Kent County RIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~rikent/ Search the RIGenWeb Pages http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/search.html
