Photo newsletter: great teachers and an interview with Roger Williams
Hello everyone!
It is a bit of a challenge but still fun when The Journal is contacted to cover a surprise event. Such was the case this week when two Rhode Island teachers were honored in two different spots in the state: Burrillville and Central Falls. Journal photographers Kris Craig and David DelPoio were on the road to do the coverage, while trying not to be too conspicuous at the same time. The pictures captured the joyful emotion of the events.
Journal reporter Tom Mooney was with David on a story this week about a man who served more than 13 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Paul Courteau was in court, and then outside it, to make some remarks about his experience. He will receive more than $500,000 for being wrongly imprisoned.
Our Rhode Island State House is a regular venue for all kinds of rallies and protests. This week, it was two groups of people who have strong feelings about guns. Opponents of gun control, many wearing yellow shirts, gathered in the rotunda. At the same time, proponents of stricter laws, wearing orange shirts, rallied close by.
Journal reporter Amy Russo sat down this week for an interview with Roger Williams. Well, actually a park ranger in Providence who dresses like and looks convincingly like him. It will be for an upcoming column in The Providence Journal and providencejournal.com
