Onna Moniz-John and the EPHS warmly welcome you to join us as we honor the local Black men and women who have served our country from the first call in 1775. In anticipation of both the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and Victory Day, Au-gust 12, we will be greeting Vets from WW2 to the present day, thanking them for their service, and inviting them to tell their stories at the Education Center exhibit. We will also honor Onna Moniz and her ongoing work of showcasing local Black contributions to East Providence and the national scene. Please join us for the Opening Reception!

Hunt’s Mills is a family picnic area with walking trails along the 10 Mile River, his-torical buildings, a fish ladder and a community garden in full bloom. Its history is ancient, from Indigenous peoples who fished the falls and planted 3 Sister gardens to the present diverse peoples who honor the memory of all who have lived here.
