Immigration stories are often associated with Ellis Island, the gateway for millions of newcomers to America. However, not all immigrants entered through New York Harbor. For this workshop, we shine a spotlight on the Rocha and Cabral families, who made their way to New Bedford, Massachusetts, directly from the stunning Azores, a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Portugal. We'll also explore how industrialization impacted labor for immigrants.
