The more than 3,000 Rhode Islanders lost to COVID were memorialized Saturday with a display of thousands of white flags on the State House lawn and a ceremony that opened a week during which the flags will remain in place. The display was created by artist Suzanne Firstenberg, who explains its purpose here. NOTE: This was recorded outside, so there are background sounds.
