Author Talk: Legends of Little Canada with author Charlie Gargiulo

3:30 pm. Author Talk: Legends of Little Canada with author Charlie Gargiulo. On the cusp of becoming a teenager, Charlie Gargiulo lived through the planned destruction of Lowell’s Little Canada neighborhood in the 1960s. Charlie never knew Jack, but he knew the teeming life of Little Canada’s crowded streets and tenements as Jack would have known them in the 1930’s when attending school and church there. This is Charlie’s story of the people and place he loved—and the injustice of what was done to them. He went on to become a legendary community organizer who led efforts to ensure people would have decent housing and a fair chance to earn a living and make a happy life for themselves.
