Hello everyone,
Let's explore the Immigration Station at Angel Island on Saturday, Aug 10th, 2024
Historically called the “Guardian of the Western Gate” by staff, the U.S. Immigration Station, second in size only to Ellis Island in New York, was built to enforce immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act. People from over 80 countries, were detained on Angel Island between 1910-1940 and the largest groups were immigrants from China, Japan, Russia, and India.
At Angel Island, it is important to learn about the history of the immigration office and museum.
