"ISLE OF HOPE, ISLE OF TEARS" IRISH JOURNEY TO ELLIS ISLAND
Join Steve Gill, Feeta Bishop, Mollie Hudner Thompson and Bob Feiner for a journey back to Ellis Island in the year 1892 when young Annie Moore, an Irish girl becomes the first immigrant to land on Ellis Island. Between 1892 and 1954 when Ellis Island closed, over five million Irish immigrants came to "Amerikay." Today, forty million Americans claim Irish ancestry. Here are some of the stories and songs that those newcomers told and sang. Listen to popular Irish songs like: "Take You Home Again, Kathleen," "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," ""Danny Boy," "The Rose of Tralee," "How are Things in Glocca Morra?" and many others.
