Lawrence, Massachusetts, is a city often misjudged for its past, misheard, in its present, and shaped by a history of miscommunication. This photo-book reclaims its narrative, pairing archival images from the Lawrence History Center with contemporary photographs to reveal a vibrant, evolving community. Far beyond its label as an "immigrant city," Lawrence is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of diverse voices. This collection invites readers to look deeper, challenge assumptions, and celebrate untold stories of a city that is so much more than its stereotypes.
