Early Rhode Island Through the Eyes of the Ladies of Smith\u2019s Castle<\/b> with Marilyn Harris.<\/i>
\nMeets 3 sessions starting Wednesday, July 19, 1:00PM-2:30PM<\/p>\n

History, until fairly recently, has been written largely through the eyes of white males, who had the education, reputation, and most of all, time, for such endeavors. We will look at Rhode Island’s earliest days (1635-1790) from the perspective of some of our “fore-mothers” who lived at nearby Smith’s Castle: Joan Smith, Esther Smith, Sarah Smith (enslaved), Anstis Jenkins Smith, and Anstis Updike Lee.<\/p>\n
