"Ellis Island:The American Dream"
~Charlie Brown
"Freedom and the power to choose should not be the privilege of wealth.
They are the birthright of every American." - George Herbert Walker Bush
From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of
Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor.
It has been estimated that nearly half of all Americans today can trace their family history
to at least one person who passed through the Port of New York at Ellis Island.
"If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth
living for in time of peace."
