Brown: Founding & the College Green
Providence, USA
A founding walk around Brown's compact College Green, built on the most religiously liberal charter of any colonial college \u2014 the first in America to admit students regardless of faith, in the Rhode Island Roger Williams founded for freedom of conscience. From the Van Wickle Gates and University Hall (modeled on Princeton's Nassau Hall) across the Main Green to Sayles Hall, Carrie Tower, and Manning Hall, ending at Martin Puryear's Slavery Memorial \u2014 the honest counterpoint to the founding, from Brown's landmark Slavery and Justice reckoning.
