Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
Edward Corsi, who later became United States
Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian
immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands,
while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother.
Passengers all about us were crowding against
the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries,
laughs and cheers - a steadily rising din filled the
air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that
they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of
Liberty
How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman's
statement that the immigrants never forgot seeing the
Statue of Liberty for the first time?
It adds credibility because it comes from a worker or
the ship who sailed past the Statue of Liberty.
It adds credibility because it comes from an
immigrant who actually shares his memories of
seeing the Statue of Liberty.
It adds credibility because it comes from a historian
who studied immigrants and the Statue of Liberty.
It adds credibility because it comes from a journalist
who researched the Statue of Liberty.
