This collection was put together by Fox Point resident, Lou Costa, with the help of many, including a Brown Professor, however this project has no affiliation with the university. Lou Costa wished to document Fox Point and the communities of people who lived and worked there. Eventually the collection was gifted to the PPL by Costa. The Fox Point community experienced a lot of turmoil at the hands of Brown University and the Urban Renewal Project, forcing many to leave, and irreparably changing the demographics of the area. The Costa Collection seeks to shine a light on this history and highlight the vibrant communities that have been overshadowed. The specific pictures included are of a flyer asking for material donations, an email expressing excitement about the project, and a photo from the collection titled, “Poor People’s Park.” These items, and this collection in general, demonstrates the active role community members play in the creation of a community archive, the positive impact it can have, and the reality it illustrates, none of which is achieved with an institutional archive. https://mail.outsidevoices.digitalscholarship.brown.edu/files/original/2366de6317dd73ef24efec18b3209847.jpg 63913a51f4e5491567469a76baa7716b https://mail.outsidevoices.digitalscholarship.brown.edu/files/original/1b7542f2c88e4a47140376dce0ad88b6.jpg 8031671dfd702412a97fe9b26978b5c7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource African Americans on College Hill, 1950-1979 : is a special project of The Urban League of Rhode Island Subject The topic of the resource College Hill; Black experience; Racism; Community Description An account of the resource This is an oral history, in the format of a book, housed in the Rhode Island Collection of the Providence Public Library (PPL). It consists of recollections of 17 African-Americans who lived in College Hill neighborhood of Providence between 1950 and 1979. It discusses various aspects of the community at the time, from the doctor that help deliver most of the participant to the racism they faced on College Hill. The participants speak about the different ways in which they were pushed out of the neighborhood. People constantly harassing them about selling their home, the Providence Preservation Society withheld funding for renovations, and displacement from the Urban Renewal Project. Over the course of one participants life, the make up of College Hill completely changed because all her friends and family were forced to move. This tells the story of residents on College Hill, emphasizing the struggles they faced as a result of racism and redevelopment in the area.
