Please read pages 1-35 in “From Ellis Island to JFK” by Nancy Foner. I attach a question sheet. Since we barely began discussing Chapters 2 and 3 in Binder and Reimers on Monday, we probably will not get too far into the Foner material on Wednesday.

Also, please think about the following question and be ready to discuss it in class on Wednesday:

We often hear people say, “Only in America!” in response to certain events or phenomena. What does the phrase “Only in America” mean to you? What are some examples of of situations in which someone might say it? (Let’s try to answer this question without reference to the recent presidential election).

Please read Chapters 2 and 3 in the Binder and Reimers book. Please think about the questions in the attached sheet.
