                  <text>These items are part of the collection at the Lawrence History Center in Lawrence, MA. This collection reflects the organization of the local Portuguese American community from the start of the 20th century through the 1990s. Items focus on the Portuguese American Civic League, Holy Ghost Society, and Saint Peter and Paul's Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the &lt;a href="https://lawrencehistory.org/"&gt;Lawrence History Center (LHC)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Founded in 1978 as the Immigrant City Archives by German immigrant Eartha Dengler, the Lawrence History Center’s mission is to collect, preserve, share, and animate the history and heritage of Lawrence and its people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Currently in their fifth decade, LHC seeks to better serve a community that is rapidly changing due to immigration and changes in the local economy. The past few years have marked enormous growth for LHC as they move from being an organization that ‘collects and preserves’ stories of the city to one that animates these stories for current residents, researchers, and visitors to Lawrence through rich and varied programming, the strength of our collections and the power of the history of an immigrant city on the rise.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The Helena Lucas Santos Collection contains documents and photographs pertaining to the life and career of Helena Santos, EdD, a Portuguese American educator in Massachusetts. Most of the items focus on her time as a teacher and educator at Hudson Public Schools, where she worked within the ESL and Bilingual Education programs. Also included are various images and writings from bilingual students who attended Hudson Public Schools from 1977-1986.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her doctoral dissertation was titled &lt;a href="https://www.proquest.com/docview/305382111?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;amp;fromopenview=true"&gt;"The Socialization Experience of Cape Verdean, Latina and Portuguese Women Faculty at Four-Year Institutions in Southern New Enland"&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biographical Sketch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Helena Lucas Santos (b. 1954) is a Portuguese American educator and scholar from Ludlow, Massachusetts. She holds a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration (UMass Boston), a Master’s in Education in Bilingual/Cross-cultural Counseling (Boston University), and a Bachelor's Degree in Portuguese (UMass Amherst). She taught at Hudson Public Schools for 9 years as a teacher and counselor within the English as a Second Language and Transitional Bilingual Education programs. She also served as the Title VII Lau Coordinator from 1982-1986. In 1986, she moved to Bridgewater State University where she worked in the Academic Achievement Center and in 2006 to Lasell University where she served as Assistant Vice President and Dean of Academic Success for the rest of her career. While teaching in Hudson, Helena met David Fox, also from Hudson, and they married in 1984. They have one son, Daniel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helena was born to Alzira Lucas Santos (1922-2015) and Antonio do Rosario Santos (1920-2019). Alzira was born as the third child to Germano and Gloria Lucas, Portuguese immigrants living in Ludlow, MA. Germano and Gloria decided to move back to Evora de Alcobaça, Portugal to raise their children but, shortly after returning, the two older children passed away. Alzira became the oldest of seven children that followed. It was here that Alzira eventually met her husband, Antonio do Rosario Santos, and they married in 1946.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because she was born in the United States, Alzira held American citizenship. Therefore, she came back to the United States in 1952 and her husband and their daughter, Maria, followed soon after. They settled in Ludlow, MA, where Alzira was born. The Santos’ went on to have two more children: Helena and Jose, and two grandchildren: Daniel Santos Fox and Isabel Corkey Santos. Alzira worked as a seamstress in the local manufacturing companies such as Cromwell Mills, Carter’s Clothing, and Spaulding Sports Corporation. Antonio worked for various companies such as Chapman Valve, Westinghouse, and Moore Drop Forging Co./Danaher Tools.</text>

The Hudson News-Enterprise Newspaper Collections provides an overview of the Portuguese community during the 1920s.

Throughout these clippings, details emerge of various Portuguese shop owners, entrepreneurs, and religious leaders. The articles also detail the Portuguese community's attempts to culturally assimilate to American culture, including attendance at Americanization and citizenship classes.</text>

&#13;
The Hudson News-Enterprise Newspaper Collections provides an overview of the Portuguese community during the 1920s. Hudson, MA has long been known for their Portuguese immigrant community, which was already thriving by the 1920s. Throughout these clippings, details emerge of various Portuguese shop owners, entrepreneurs, and religious leaders. The articles also detail the Portuguese community's attempts to culturally assimilate to American culture, including attendance at Americanization and citizenship classes.</text>
