Dismemberment of a person is a capital offense; dismemberment of a community is called “urban renewal”
With l95 down, the corner of S. Main St.
& Wickenden St.is open to the sky and is
now 40 acres of prime real estate
for the economic future of
Rhode Island.
We remember the old days when that corner
was the heart of our Cape Verdean community.
The "new" Fox Point and the"forty acres
without the mule"is also part of our legacy,and we're
working hard to keep the memory alive.
