Remember the Old Times:
Cape Verdean Community in Fox Point, 1920-1945 John Nicholas Brown Center, Brown University, 2009 This exhibition addressed the long history of the Cape Verdean community in the neighborhood of Fox Point in Providence. When the waterfront was redeveloped and the highway routed through this vibrant community, the community was displaced throughout the area. In this project, we reconnected personal histories with the history of specific locations in Providence and brought the community together to remember the neighborhood as it once was as well as how Cape Verdeans came to Providence. This project was one of the annual Public Humanities graduate student projects through the John Nicholas Brown Center for the Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage, and Gonzales was one of the co-curators.
