We, The People!

 

The story of America as a nation of immigrants, performed in costume, story, and song. Animated characterizations and plenty of folk humor, make history come alive.

 

 

America, A Nation Of Immigrants

The First Thanksgiving

 

Immigrants first view of America

 

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" a sonnet written by Emma Lazarus in 1883

 

Millions of immigrants arrived arrived at Ellis Island (pictured below)in New York harbor, which was the gateway to the United States. Ellis Island was an immigrant inspection station.

Among the tunes are songs of the early settlers, sailors, pioneers, sod shantymen, railway workers and immigrants just off the boat!

• Yankee Doodle
• Drunken Sailor
• Sweet Betsy From Pike
• I've Been Working On The Railroad
• This Land Is My Land
