1917 Print American Immigrants Night School English Class Americanization NGM5

"The Melting-Pot in Operation"

This is an original 1917 black and white halftone print of newly relocated American immigrants, who are taking part in a night school, like dozens of others throughout the country, to learn English. While many nations in Europe demanded their immigrants to know the local language, the United States made many efforts to teach the swelling immigrant population English.
