1920 Anarchist Communist Deportation Ellis Island European Foreign Radical Red Scare Steamer Boarding Unidentified


DEPORTATION, 1920 - A Glimpse into America's Red Scare Era

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from The Granger Collection takes us back to the year 1920, a time when fear and suspicion gripped the nation. Suspected communists and other radical foreign citizens are seen boarding a steamer at Ellis Island, awaiting deportation proceedings. This image offers a rare glimpse into one of America's most turbulent periods in history. The photograph captures the exterior of Ellis Island, where men and women of European descent stand together, their identities concealed behind anonymity. These individuals were caught in the midst of what became known as the "Red Scare" an era marked by heightened anti-communist sentiment and widespread paranoia about anarchist activities. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel a mix of emotions - curiosity, empathy, perhaps even trepidation. The faces remain unidentified; yet their expressions reveal traces of resilience amidst uncertainty. Through this powerful visual narrative, we witness how immigration policies intersected with political ideologies during early 20th-century America. It serves as a reminder that our nation's history is complex and multifaceted – shaped not only by triumphs but also by moments fraught with tension and division. Granger Art on Demand allows us to preserve these significant snapshots from our past – images that provoke contemplation while shedding light on pivotal chapters in American history.
