Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation

There are so many ways to connect with the history of #AngelIsland, whether you just learned about the immigration station for the first time or are trying to dig into something new. Peruse our resources here: aiisf.org/resources #immigration #AngelIslandImmigrationStation

@iamlorettachen Glad you were able to join us! And yes, we hope visitors to Angel Island reflect on the threads of connection between what immigrants detained on Angel Island historically experienced and what is happening in our country today!

While we took in the serenity and beauty of @AIISForg , it is important to not forget its history of how Asian & Pacific Islanders immigrants were detained 🥺 The rise of AAPI hate and discrimination also reminds us why it’s important to build communities, form alliances across cultures and commit to #Diversity #equity #inclusion in action & deed ❤️🙏🏼 @smoblerstudios

@AbsentDeer @lihanlihan In addition! 😀

@lihanlihan @AIISForg Very important historical place. Wish all the tourists would visit Angel Island instead of/in addition to Alcatraz!

Who doesn’t like late night special ferry ⛴️? Spent a fun night on Angel Island celebrating @AIISForg’s 40th birthday!

@afstrom We are huge fans of Katherine Toy and @reimaginemigrat !

Katherine Toy, the first executive director of @AIISForg is an American hero. Love the staff today too!

@lihanlihan Glad you had a great time!!
