Tribute to Valdir Alves, a legacy of journalism and humanity
Pawtucket, March 28, 2025 (Bravanews) - On April 19, the Riviera Restaurant will host an emotional and meaningful event, a tribute to Valdir Alves, a journalist and incomparable human being who left an indelible mark on the Cape Verdean community in New England. The celebration, which promises to bring together friends, family and admirers, aims to honor the memory of Valdir Alves, who passed away just over two years ago, and to perpetuate his legacy through the digitization of his precious video cassettes.
Valdir Alves was much more than a journalist. He was a pillar of the community, a tireless defender of the truth and a passionate storyteller. Through the Cabo Vídeo channel, he gave a voice to the marginalized, highlighted the struggles and triumphs of the local community and preserved Cape Verde's rich culture and history.
Time has been relentless with the video cassettes that house Valdir Alves' legacy. Deterioration threatens to erase forever the stories, memories and precious moments captured by his lens. Digitizing these videos is therefore an urgent and essential mission to preserve Valdir Alves' legacy for future generations.
The tribute event at the Riviera Restaurant will be a celebration of the life and work of Valdir Alves. The evening will be filled with music, dancing, delicious food and, above all, shared memories. Friends and family will take to the stage to share stories and tributes, recalling the positive impact Valdir Alves had on their lives.
The tribute to Valdir Alves is an event open to all who wish to honor his memory and contribute to preserving his legacy. The community is invited to join together in an act of love and gratitude, celebrating the life of a man who dedicated his life to serving others.
