For all my genealogy and history-loving friends . . . I discovered this documentary through Crista Cowan’s (“The Barefoot Genealogist”) podcast. If you’re a fan of Finding Your Roots on PBS, you will love this documentary which highlights an interesting (and moving — bring your tissues!) piece of American immigration history. You can watch for free on Tubi or rent through PBS on Amazon.
By the way, Crista has a series, “Stories That Live in Us”, which is currently highlighting all states in a lead-up to America’s 250th birthday. The series started with Hawaii, the 50th, and is working back to America’s beginnings. This week was Mississippi. You can find her podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CristaCowan. Very interesting and informative series!
