Images from Ellis Island

You, the Spirit of the Settlement! ... Not understand that America is God's crucible,
the great melting-pot where all the races ....are melting and re-forming!
Here, you stand, good folk, think I, when I see them at Ellis Island,
here you stand in your fifty groups, with your fifty languages and histories ...

--Israel Zangwill ,The Melting Pot 

Where do you stand?
