This project is a survey of the working history of Bridgeport over the last 100 years. Decade by decade, the project shows the growing importance of the worker and labor in the development of a city. By moving through the exhibit timeline and reading the political and social history of each period, we hope that the viewer will realize the important roles that those people who felt that they "weren't important" actually played in developing Bridgeport. Read the worker's stories; listen to their words...join us in celebrating 100 years of history in a great industrial city, Bridgeport, Connecticut. The companies, the people and their legacy lives on. |
