"From Colonial Banishment to Global Expulsion: The Unsettling Journey of the Deported" In the 1600s, a colonial family faced banishment from Puritan Massachusetts, their roots severed by intolerance. Centuries later, Emma Goldman, an American anarchist, found herself captured in an oil painting that immortalized her fight against societal constraints. The year was 1906 when immigrants stood outside a court-room at Blackwall Pier, anxiously awaiting their fate. Their dreams collided with harsh realities as they were confronted with the looming possibility of deportation. In Rome during 1880, a destitute family endured eviction due to unpaid rent. Standing helplessly in the rain-soaked streets, they became mere pawns in Italy's historic struggle for survival. As World War I ravaged nations and displaced countless lives, refugees faced dire circumstances. Ethel Franklin Betts Bains' poignant poster "Lest We Perish" served as a reminder of humanity's duty towards those fleeing war-torn lands. Wladyslaw Theodore Benda echoed this sentiment through his powerful artwork depicting refugees pleading for assistance - "Give or We Perish. " Emma Goldman's anarchistic spirit transcended borders and time itself. Born in Lithuania but embracing America as her new home, she challenged authority wherever she went. Julian Beck embodied resistance throughout his life as an actor and director. In Brazil on August 27th, 1971 he arrived at political police headquarters alongside his wife Judith Malina after being expelled from the country they had called home. However unjust these expulsions may be perceived; hope remained steadfast even amidst adversity. On September 4th that same year Julian Beck and Judith Malina returned to Kennedy Airport in New York City - resilience personified. Through photographs like GCAN2A-00003 and GCAN2A-00002 we catch glimpses into these stories of displacement; each image a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and rebuild.
