The American Immigrant Wall of Honor, located alongside the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration in New York, celebrates the immigrant journey by honoring nearly one million names etched on its walls, representing individuals who arrived in the U.S. with dreams of a better life. Unveiled in 1990, the Wall of Honor pays tribute to immigrants from various time periods and entry points, serving as a permanent monument to America's unique immigration history.
By adding a name to the Wall of Honor, visitors not only commemorate their ancestors' journeys but also support the Foundation's mission to preserve and restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Foundation aims to keep the legacy of Ellis Island alive, fostering an understanding of American heritage and promoting appreciation for the diversity that shapes the nation's identity.
