Title
Rhode Island's Franco-Americans in Our Pluralistic Society
Description
Brief essay presentation summarizing much of the history of the French presence in Rhode Island. Acknowledges certain Rhode Island events, as well as political and religious figures, beginning with French explorations of North America in the 16th century, and moving into the twentieth century. Composed as a response to what the author calls the "melting pot theory," and as an argument against the author's notion of cultural assimilation. Transcript of a speech given to Le Foyer - a social organization in Pawtucket, Rhode Island - on March 21, 1973.
