American Icons
The
Statue of Liberty. The Immigration Center. Ellis and Liberty islands
are home to two of America's most endearing icons.
More
than 12 million immigrants passed by Liberty Island on their way
to Ellis Island in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Their
descendants are scattered across the United States now, but some
have chosen to work on the island, where they welcome the one million
visitors who come each year to understand their ancestors' journeys.
