NightWatch Podcast EPISODE 29: AMERICA’S STORY PART 13 – ANNIE MOORE: 4-½ MIN.

New York’s Ellis Island has become the long-accepted symbol for immigrants seeking to better their lives by coming to America. Between 1892 and 1954, Ellis Island served as the primary gateway to freedom for over twelve million souls.

Annie Moore, the first to cross the storied threshold, led her two younger brothers as they traversed the cold Atlantic waters from Ireland. Her faith and courage exemplifies the fortitude and vision of all who made that journey.
