Australian-born Harry Bridges (seen here marching in a Labor Day parade) was one of the most influential labor leaders in US history. Bridges was on the receiving end of a vast, unrelenting campaign in the 1930s and 1940s that sought to have him deported from the country - including hearings held at the Angel Island Immigration Station in the summer of 1939. #unionlabor #harrybridges #laborday #immigrantleaders
Segregation by gender and ethnicity was s standard practice at the US Immigration Station. Detention, medical treatment, dining and recreation separated men from women and Europeans from non-Europeans. #angelisland #immigrationhistory #detentioncenter #pacificimmigration
