You are about to embark on a virtual journey to find the answers to the following questions!
Who immigrated to America in the early 1900s? What was their experience when they came to this country? Where did various groups of immigrants come from? Why did millions of people cross the ocean to come to America? How are the immigrants of today similar to immigrants of the past?
