extensive narration by Miriam Medina on European and Asian immigration to
the United States during the 1800s into the early 1900s.


Press Release Body = \"I Go To America, Reaching For the American Dream\" is my
narration. I am Miriam Medina, the author of this four part essay . I describe how a
mass of emigrants from various origins left their places of birth in pursuit of the
\"American Dream\", which symbolized for them democracy, equality, liberty, justice
and most of all, material well-being. A detailed description of their lives,
struggles and despair, offers the reader a personal glimpse of immigrant living
during the 1800s into the early 1900s. My narrative covers a lot: the severe
hardships of Europe\'s inhabitants, the era of industrial and economic growth in
America, the need and search for workers in Europe, exploitation of the
vulnerability of the masses, starvation and diseases ending in death for some of the
immigrants in their journey to America, the protest of the Americans to restrict the
influx of immigration, discriminatory lawmaking and restrictions on Immigrants by
the U.S. government, the horrendous conditions of tenement living amid the crime,
filth and disease, the immigrant\'s final triumph overcoming obstacles of
discrimination, illiteracy and poverty giving place to a new image of productive and
successful citizens: All are part of \"I Go To America, Reaching For the American
Dream," located in the Immigration section under the New York City Main Directory,

\"I Go To America, Reaching For the American Dream\" is based on eight years of extensive
research from public records, books, newspapers and web links.
