Watch the recording of this illustrated talk hosted in conjunction with Victoria Mansion Director of Education & Public Programs Stacia Hanscom that explored details of both sites and the meanings behind them.
Even though both Victorian-era mansions have strikingly similar interiors and exteriors, the successful businessmen had very different origin stories. Why did men with such dissimilar backgrounds end up building such similar houses? What messages were they sending through the design of their homes?

CLIMATE CHANGE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND LOCAL RESILIENCY
A TWO-PART COMMUNITY CONVERSATION SERIES
Lippitt House Museum, the Providence League of Women Voters, and the Southside Community Land Trust are partnering on two community conversations.
During the virtual programs, community leaders will address how building resilient communities, and creating health equity for residents help counter the effects of climate change. Speakers will share ideas for attendees to enact change locally. Time will be allocated during both discussions for questions from the audience and will be facilitated by the Providence League of Women Voters.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the League of Women Voters Rhode Island Education Fund. Media Sponsor ecoRI News.

In response to the growing threat posed to Rhode Island by climate change, how can urban land support sustainable food availability for diverse communities? As one of the most urban states in the country, how is our state’s land used and by whom? Three panelists will answer these questions and discuss efforts underway to empower communities disproportionately impacted by environmental and public health risks and have limited access to natural places.

Chris Gaynor - Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management
Julius Kolawole - African Alliance of Rhode Island

Industrial and government infrastructure impacts health and quality of life. So how can policies be changed to support environmentally resilient communities?

Grassroots activists and a healthcare professional will discuss policy and sustainability efforts to address some of these challenges that neighborhoods in Providence face.
