America: The Hope of the World

Ellis Island & The Statue of Liberty
"A symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world"


I often wonder about... my immigrant ancestors...
I know their names but...who were they as people...
how did they survive...what did they think...
how did they feel...what did they believe...
what questions would I ask them...
would I be proud of them?
 
But...
 maybe a better question...
would they be proud of me?
 
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...
yearning to breathe free!"
