Gateways in Dialogue: Navigating Immigrant Experiences on Angel and Ellis Islands (Part 1)

This was a live event recorded 1/18/2024.
Join Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation and the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation to compare journeys through these two immigration stations on a 1-hour virtual event. We are starting off this series with a virtual tour through our spaces. While Angel Island was referred to as the Ellis Island of the West in newspaper articles before its opening, is this accurate? Stephen and Danielle will be in conversation tracking immigrant journeys from ship to city at these two sites and let you determine just how alike or dissimilar they are. There will be time for a Q+A after their presentation.
Future events in the series will potentially cover topics brought up in the Q+A.A special thanks to Stephen, our collaborator from the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation!If you'd like to know more about future events, or if you had a potential topic you'd like to learn more about, head over to our website aiisf.org and sign up for our newsletter!

I found this channel due to a comment left on a tasting history's video. This was a wonderful brief overview presentation of our country's immigration system and the experience of those who experienced it. Cant wait for the next one ❤
