- Many of these photos come from the collection of Augustus Sherman, Chief Registry Clerk on Ellis Island. Sherman was an gifted amateur photographer who brought his camera to work. He captured images of immigrants in colorful native costume. These photos can be found on History.com.
The drone footage is taken by the Dronalist, whose work can be found elsewhere on UA-cam.
The final scene is from Elia Kazan's America, America, and is one of the most profoundly moving sequences in cinematic history. I shouldn't say this, but I cry every time I see it.
I have not been to my home country for a decade.
I believe in the United States. I came here when I was seventeen. Every day since then the United States has burned in my very soul. I will never stop believing in this magnificent country
I could watch this video 20 times a day. What a singer and what a legend!!
Love the photos in this vudeo. Thanks!
Those who have been born & raised in this country, which our ancestors risked so much in order to ensure their families futures, should be grateful that they chose not to raise their family wherever they were escaping. America may not be perfect but it's still better than so many alternatives.
You got that right!!!
One of my favourite songs of all time and I’m not American but I loved the original jazz singer and Neil’s version xox
It makes me Proud to be a Navy Veteran. Thank God he has given us Liberty!
Thank you for your service!
I enjoy listening to Neil Diamond , this represents everyone that came here to America from different countries to live a better life .
We are one country made of many. Love this place
GOD bless America ... and thank you Neil Diamond Brooklyn's own.
Neil Diamond is one of my all time favorites. This was a great video...what a wonderful history lesson! They looked so happy to be arriving in America. This video should be played every single day in schools, work places and especially to the people in government to remind everyone that we are supposed to be the role model of freedom and hope for the future.. Thank you for the time you took to put this together. I so appreciated seeing this video.
If you are looking for new groups to react to, I'd like to suggest a group called Home Free. They are billed as a Country Acapella group; however they perform all genres. There are no instruments; however, they do have a champion beatboxer that sounds like he swallowed most of the instruments that make up a band. They perform covers of other artists and also write and perform their own music. If you decide to check them out, start with "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Ring of Fire" to a feel for their voices. They have amazing voice ranges. They can also be pretty funny without losing the quality of their voices. I hope you decide to check them out.
I am one of the people in govt, I cry at this video notice the first reference is to Ireland we all came for the same thing
God forgive me I forgot this song existed. Happy I found it again
Thank you so much for sharing this video on UA-cam. It tore at my heart when my great great great grandparents arrived in Ellis Island and migrated to Texas. The odd thing was my GGG grandfather totally embraced becoming an American and its culture, but my GGGgrandmother’s heart remained loyal to her motherland and taught her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all her country’s songs and legends. When the last of their children moved away to their own lives, the GGGgrandfather moved across town to a big house and was the first person in town to have a brand new bathtub installed. Being staunch Roman Catholics, they never divorced but never reconciled their political beliefs and died separately in their own homes.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this Neil Diamond song. Cracklin’ Rosie is a gem, also.
We need on a loop in our schools and college campuses.
I'm proud of the fact that I have six ancestors who arrived on the Mayflower, but I'm sad that I don't have anyone who came through Ellis Island. It's sacred ground.
I just learned that I have two ancestors who came through Castle Garden. That was where immigrants came though before Ellis Island came into operation.
That girl from Greece and Italy are beautiful
Yes
America Rules!!!
Great video!!❤
Incredible America is like no other experiment in World has ever known.
My grandfather and his younger brother arrived here in 1890 and 1i92, from Germany. People come to America today for the same reason.
May America be always be free - a beacon of Hope and Freedom for the entire world.
Most thankful for this.
Thank you.
🇺🇸☝🏼🙏🏻❤
Very moving and dramatic
Maravilhoso Neil. Sempre.
God help us if we lose sight of what freedom really means 🙏
If people don't get it together God may be the only answer
Many in this country already have. My Grandfather came through Ellis Island from Sicily. Thank you for making. The trip. This country wasnt
kind to immigrants back then but worse today.
🖤🎼🌎🌏🌍🎼🖤💋
Nice video that represents so many different cultures. The USA is a romantic ideology. It is not perfect but it is what humanity aspires to be.
My grandfather came through Ellis Island. This video depicts who we really are. What a terrible perversion I’m the past 4 years!
Top 🙏🤗
This song encompasses the real promise of America.No matter if your ancestors fled a famine in Ireland, anti-Semitic persecution in Europe,the killing fields of Pol Pot in Cambodia,Castro's murderous regime in Cuba,anytime, anywhere this country has always been a bastion of hope for all seeking a better life.May she forever remain so.God Bless America!
This Song - has a Whole New Meaning Lately
From Proud to Pathetically Sad.
We let it happen by who we let run this country.
So true. I think about when this song was written to what coming to America is now. So sad!
@Jim Frick well said
Only famous person I know that emigrated to 🇺🇸 was Bruce Lee & as he got older, he experienced "problems" in the 🎥 industry 🤔which is why he returned to Asia
What about "Ahnold?" I'm pretty sure when he left Austria he didn't say "I'll be back ." :)
America its all the continent from Alaska until Patagonia
India has been shown as hindustan but let me clear it is Bharat
Sad now we have lost freedom
So true. Hopefully we can get back to how our country used to be someday
Ryan Smurda hope so
Not all is lost!!!
We have to get rid of the fallen angels in the Government corporations universities and when darkness is gone little by little
You will see our Beloved America rising back in all her Glory and Majesty🇺🇸🗽❤️🇺🇸🗽❤️🇺🇸🗽❤️
LEGAL Immigrants!!!!!!
A song America needs today with all the woke crt teachings in schools. Teach the children the true history.
This video is lovely and inspiring.. depicting good people from around the world.. yearning to be free and being able to better themselves. But that is the PAST. The reality of what is going on now is that we have the scum of the earth flooding into the USA to cash in on social welfare programs and engage in underhanded and criminal enterprises. This happened in the past in a very limited and organized way - organized crime. Now, what was the exception is now the rule! In the past, we had an influx of good people with a few bad apples. Now.. we get an influx of bad apples with a few good people!
