After 68 years, the Barrington United Veterans Council was removed as organizer of the 2022 Memorial Day Parade, after it vigorously opposed the Town Council flying the BLM flag over the Veterans Memorial. The group’s leader, a vocal opponent, was replaced as Master of Ceremonies by someone who publicly favored flying the BLM flag. Yet the Town Council says the BLM flag dispute had nothing to do with it. [More]
I just mentioned a parade in the last post-- funny how that works.
You know what else is "funny"?
How white the Town Council is.

I grew up in Barrington. The only black person I ever met before going to high school in Providence (where there was ONE) was a cook/servant for a family doctor two towns away.
