After a three year hiatus, the Freedom Factor has returned. On Friday, July 17th, Stages of Freedom convened a cohort of colleagues working in the vineyards of Rhode Island Black history. Over lunch, they discussed their various projects and the challenges of fundraising in the current environment. Pictured above, left to right, are Margaret Roberts of RI Slave History Medallions; Rose Weaver, a multi-talented creative of Waterspill Junction, Mary Minow, an independent researcher and legal consultant; Ray Rickman, Stages of Freedom co-founder; Elizabeth Francis, executive director of Rhode Island Humanities; Gail Burton, playwright/producer; Charles Roberts of RI Slave History Medallions; and Hadley Arnold, co-owner and curator of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Warren, where the groundbreaking Black Gospel Window was discovered. Yours truly, Robb Dimmick, co-founder of Stages of Freedom, was behind the camera.
