Huge shoutout to Kendel Joseph for this beautiful George Floyd mural today. From Kendel: "Thank you @AS220 and @AvenuePVD and all of y'all who came out and showed support. I'm glad you enjoy. This was made for the community, and maybe it can bring you some peace. #georgefloyd"

Do we need another hero? Yes! Remembering Ida Lewis (1842-1911), lighthouse keeper and daring water rescuer of Newport Harbor. Lime Rock Light House was renamed for her. #WomensHistoryMonth
