I found this on Flickr and was able to determine that this was most likely take during J.T. Walsh's stint as the Marquis de Sade in URI's production of Marat/Sade in 1970.

"The University of Rhode Island has ascended to the highest level of research universities, earning R1 designation in the latest Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education—a distinction held by only 4.8% of degree-granting postsecondary institutions nationally."

Proud to know this happened during my last semester at URI. Now, I'm a alumni transitioning to a gap year vocational focus, then on to the Masters.

Just after midnight on August 15, 1966, three firebombs were hurled through the windows of Holy Cross Church of God in Christ, a Black church in Providence, Rhode Island. The church had opened five weeks prior in an all-white part of the Federal Hill neighborhood.

The bombs shattered the church’s glass windows and lit several pews in the Sunday school classroom on fire. The perpetrators of the attack also vandalized a pillar by the church’s main entrance with a racial slur.

The bombing took place amidst a summer of virulent white backlash to the Black community’s efforts to integrate city housing and public schools.

At that time, Providence was one of the most racially segregated cities in the country, with nearly 80% of its Black population residing in South Providence. A 1965 University of Rhode Island study concluded that Providence was “as segregated as many cities of the Deep South.”

In Providence, as in much of the country at the time, many of the leaders of the campaign against segregation were prominent figures in the Black church. This made Black churches a target for white fear, anger, and violence.

Over 100 Black churches were burned, bombed, or vandalized during the civil rights era. While the majority of these racially motivated attacks took place in Southern cities such as Birmingham, where explosives placed by a white man killed four young Black girls at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in 1963, Black churches outside the South were also targeted, in cities including Providence, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

To learn more about the violent white backlash to integration in Northern cities, read EJI’s report, Segregation in America.

How do bats fly? Scientists at Brown University in Rhode Island are releasing the winged mammals, such as this Egyptian fruit bat, into a laboratory wind tunnel to study flight mechanics.

Oren Root, a longtime New York City lawyer and Columbia University graduate who was at the school when anti-Vietnam War protests rocked it in 1968, said Shafik's summoning of police was "an extraordinary miscalculation."

"President Shafik and her advisers clearly didn't learn from history," said Root, who was a top editor at The Spectator, the Columbia student newspaper, in 1968 and 1969. “Calling in the cops was clearly a mistake. Things have not gotten any calmer.”

dreading the day someone makes a Rhode Island Miku because I just know she'll be 4'11", from "P'Tuckit", running a pizza shop that's a front for the mafia, and also a prominent local politician

Finally did the thing. Completed my undergraduate degree, and walked across the stage.

A day late (commencement was Friday afternoon) as I was absolutely *wiped out* by the time we actually got home around 8 - 9 pm.

I technically have two summer classes to finish the last of my credits. Then my diploma will come in by August.

Overall, was actually a good day. I feel weirdly content with things right now. Even with the transition to early career and creative projects now.

I'm good.

I’m scared when I’m older that because I’m so in love with the Pacific Northwest and north east coast I won’t be able to choose where to go to university. Or because I’m from the south, I’m scared I’ll never fit in no matter where I go.
