OUR MISSION
It is our mission to promote the history, culture and contemporary life of Cape Verdean migrants as well as other Portuguese-speaking communities and their families in the region.
The center is a resource for research and knowledge to educate and share our history, culture and language. Here, we celebrate and explore community civic life, agricultural and labor practices, and the challenges of historic and contemporary Cape Verdean and Lusophone communities.
It is a lively space of encounter for migrant community life and for all local residents who are dedicated to an open dialogue to create equitable solutions to shared challenges and issues of social and racial justice.
OPENING DAY!
Joined by numerous community members, see our ribbon cutting ceremony where our missions come together to create Falmouth's first of its kind, The Cape Cod Cape Verdean Museum and Cultural Center.
