Wood Foundation has generously approved a $300.000 grant to support the initiatives at the New Bedford Whaling Museum geared toward preserving the history of Azorean and Cape Verdean communities in Southeastern Massachusetts. Among other things. this grant will support a major traveling exhibit detailing the lives of Azorean and Cape Verdean whalers that will make an appearance at various coastal communities throughout New England. Additional community events will be supported by this funding. including an international symposium on the history of Azorean and Cape Verdean immigration in Massachusetts that will be held at the Museum. In order to ensure that Cape Verdean and Azorean culture is not only preserved but celebrated in Southeastern Massachusetts. I have worked closely with many local and international officials. including Cape Verdean President Jorge Carlos Fonseca.
