*** Résumé en anglais seulement *** America was forged from the fires of immigration, where travelers from overseas set foot on these shores to begin a new life for themselves and their descendants. Some of these travelers did not come willingly to this land of promise. Those people who were already here when these strangers first landed did not necessarily welcome them with open arms. This collection of documentaries speaks of the struggles of all these Americans and of the efforts to bring equality and freedom to everyone!
