EAST PROVIDENCE Hank Moniz was two years out of the Marines, a Vietnam veteran working as a machinist in 1969, when he was looking for something better. I had to make some decisions as to where I was going, Moniz told The Providence Journal last week. He was married, owned a house, and had one child, with another one on the way. I needed to get a job, and I needed stability in my life. Since high school, he had wanted to be a Rhode Island state trooper. Many people had told me that wasn t going to happen, he said. That s because Hank Henry J. Moniz Jr., a third-generation descendant of Cape Verdean immigrants is Black, and the Rhode Island State Police had never had a Black trooper.
