Bacalaitos and Fireworks, by photographer Arlene Gottfried

I was excited to find this article on the TIMES magazine webpage today - a book by photographer Arlene Gottfried about the Puerto Rican community in New York's Lower East Side neighborhood. It had some significance for me, as my father and his sisters grew up in the projects of Avenue D, their family a part of the Puerto Rican exodus, just a decade or two before Gottfried started photographing for her book.
