Angel Island - California's "Immigration Station" - 1 views

  • This document reproduces in its entirety a book published by The Women's American Baptist Home Missionary Society, Chicago, in 1917. It describes the processing of Asian immigrants through Angel Island in San Francisco Bay - the "Ellis Island" of the west.
  • Unrestricted and unregulated immigration would not be wise either on our eastern or western coasts. We need the most careful consideration of the character of our future citizenship. But when we have decided who may be admitted to our land, let us receive all who come with a true Christian courtesy

      This provides an interesting contemporary description of the Angel Island facility, and under this sub-heading are further descriptions of other immigrants (Indian, Korean, etc.) coming through Angel Island.

      This section - on Japanese Picture Brides - describes the missionaries perceptions of these young japanese girls coming to America for the first time, but the pamplet includes "interviews" with some of the women (whether or not these are factual could be debated).

    This is the second part of my Angel Island posting. I find this document fascinating; it is a complete reproduction of a 1917 pamphlet produced by The Women's American Baptist Home Missionary Society, and includes interesting - and sometimes offensive - first hand accounts of immigrants coming through Angel Island at the time. The non-secular language cannot be denied as well, but it still makes for a fascinating glimpse into the perceptions of asian immigrants during this period of our history.

      Herbert Block's bio is very impressive, and this section could be used as a resource for students were you to introduce the analysis of political cartoons as a strategy

      Herbert Block's own essay "The Cartoon" on the role political cartoons play in our view of history and current events, could also be an invaluable material source for any lesson plan on the analysis of political cartoons.

      The Library of Congress organized these exhibits, centering on different points in history (and Herblock's career), thereby making it easier to search for a specific cartoon, as well as some ideas for how one might use it in the classroom.

    This next post connects back to the lesson plan on interpreting political cartoons. This website - published through the Library of Congress - is nothing short of fantastic. Herbert Block's career covers an incredible span of the 20th century. Using this website as a resource, you can find insightful political cartoons of almost any event from the Great Depression to the Clinton era.
