NORTH KINGSTOWNâThe North Kingstown student body is made up of about 85 percent white students. While, some may question the importance of creating an organization that tackles the issue of race in a town that has little diversity, that is one of the main reasons why a new organization has been formed in North Kingstown to do just that.Â
The organization called Towards an Anti-Racist North Kingstown (T.A.N.K) was founded earlier this year by Jennifer Lima. It started formally when they held their first meeting in mid-October with a small group on Zoom. From there a private Facebook group for T.A.N.K. volunteers was created and by their second meeting in early November, the group had doubled in size.Â
