Ellis Island -- the gateway through which more than 12 million immigrants passed between 1892 and 1954 – was reopened to the public as a museum in 1990. Nearby, the Statue of Liberty continues to shine as a beacon of freedom. Today, the yearnings of those seeking the promise of freedom and the opportunity for a better life in America are reflected in New York's rich cultural heritage.
