A Sacred Plot

By MIKE FINK

RIPR – Rhode Island has an indelible link to refuge and rescue, beginning with Roger Williams' first steps in what is now the Ocean State. Rhode Island's residents and forebears include a remarkable mix of the oppressed, the vulnerable, and the triumphant. Mike Fink reflects on a unique space -- a sacred plot -- that says so much about Rhode Island's soul.
