But\, as the first President of the United States\, he faced a different kind of battle: uniting the thirteen colonies. Debates over the ratification of the Constitution\, which would establish the government we know today\, divided the nation. In an effort to develop a sense of national unity\, Washington went on a tour through the colonies in 1790. Perhaps the most important stop- Rhode Island! The state’s hesitancy to ratify the Constitution demanded special attention from the Commander in Chief. \nInspired by Nathaniel Philbrick’s latest work\, “Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy\,” we invite you to explore George Washington’s 1790 visit to Rhode Island through the Rhode Island Historical Society’s collection of historical artifacts. \nOpening November 19th at the John Brown House Museum. Exhibition included in the price of admission. See the John Brown House Museum visitation page for open hours and admissions prices.

All events are free and take place at 1 pm on Zoom. \nThe series will kick off with The Battle of the Gravestones & The Saylesville Massacre of 1934\, a talk by Secretary-Treasurer of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO Patrick Crowley. \nIn 1934\, workers across Rhode Island went on strike as part of one of the largest industrial actions in American history – the General Textile Strike. In the mill village of Saylesville\, workers fought a week-long street battle with deputy sheriffs and the National Guard. Two workers were killed in an event known as “The Saylesville Massacre.” But what if the story we tell about what happened on the streets of Saylesville is incomplete? This lecture helps round out the story\, taking it in a different direction.\nIndividuals can register for the talk by visiting: https://bit.ly/3GxHzvd \nPatrick Crowley is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO\, representing 80\,000 working women and men across Rhode Island. He’s been a union organizer for 25 years\, working at different times for the Teamsters Union\, the Hospital Workers Union\, and the National Education Association Rhode Island.
