Remember the Old Times: Cape Verdean Community in Fox Point, 1920 to 1945 is a student-curated and executed exhibition that tells the story of the history and culture of the Cape Verdean community that lived in the Fox Point neighborhood. Cape Verdean Fox Point was a vibrant, close-knit community that was displaced by urban renewal, gentrification, and the expansion of Brown University. But the community lives on in former residents' memories, and in the photographs, archives, and artifacts so many residents saved. Their memories and stories come alive in this exhibit.
The exhibit was curated by students in the course AMCV1550: Methods in Public Humanities with generous help from Claire Andrade-Watkins, Lou Costa, Steven Lubar, Ron Potvin, Anne M. Valk, Erin Wells, and many others.
