| Summary |
Visits the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, where visitors retrace the footsteps of the millions of immigrants who landed at New York's Ellis Island. Describes the museum's oral history project and shares some of the personal anecdotes that have been gathered from those who passed through Ellis Island. Explores the variety of everyday objects on display, including a pair of boots, a cooking pot, religious artifacts, and traditional clothing as the museum strives to "give voice" to ordinary people whose lives have not typically been seen as history. |
