Angel Island Immigration Station Reopening

Leave a reply

On February 15, 2009, the Angel Island Immigration Station (aka Ellis Island of the West) reopened to the public. (It was definitely in bad shape before the reopening. We remember a big gaping hole in the ceiling.) Now that is has available to the public again. Thousands of Chinese, Japanese, Indian and other immigrants from Asia passed through the Angel Island station from 1910 through the early 1940s. This was not a pleasant experience for many of our great grandparent, grandparent, and parent. They don’t even want to talk about their painful experience at Angel Island. When you visit and see first hand you will see why. Many Paper Sons and Daughters as well as Japanese “picture brides” have passed through the station.

Go learn more about the history of the Angel Island Immigration Station and the Chinese Exclusion Act. Also a cool article A trip into Angel Island’s past.
