Not even the hot, sweltering holds of the poor steamers they traveled on, could dampen their hopes and expectations. As they spotted the Statue of Liberty, all their sacrifices - the lack of sanitation aboard ship, the weeks of family and friends sick from the pitching and heaving caused by the turbulent waves rocking the ship, little food and less water, no air, no light, endless days and nights, all faded. Before them, behind the beautiful lady was the magnificent skyline of their new home, New York City. Not even being herded like so much cattle onto Riker’s Island discouraged them.
