The photograph, taken by Jacob Riis around 1900, beautifully captures a moment of innocence amidst the hardships faced by these young souls.

Despite their uncertain circumstances and unfamiliar surroundings, they have found a space to play freely and create cherished memories. Their laughter echoes through the air as they ride tricycles and explore every corner of this enchanting rooftop garden. The American flag proudly waving in the background serves as a poignant reminder that these children are part of an immigrant journey seeking hope and opportunity in their new homeland.
