		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written before about the movement in Rhode Island to remove the words &#8220;Providence Plantations&#8221; from the state&#8217;s name. Supporters argue that these words constitute an offensive reminder of the state&#8217;s, and the nation&#8217;s, history of slavery.

In short, this movement seeks to remove the words &#8220;Providence Plantations&#8221; on the ground that the word &#8220;plantation&#8221; is now too intertwined with slavery.
