Pertaining to last week’s class discussion and presenter, this article from the New York Times publicizes the new Ellis Island Museum. It will now be called the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum. It is an attempt to broaden the mission of the museum and include more current immigration stories and artifacts. The museum realized that their history stops in 1954, when the Ellis Island immigration station closed. However, immigration is a continuous story, and the museum hope to capture more modern themes of immigration as well.
