Ellis Island and Stan Lee on this Day in History

This day in history: Ellis Island ceased operations on this day in 1954. Ellis Island was where millions of immigrants were processed, but by the 1940's and 1950's immigration was greatly reduced. America has a long history of restricting immigration. The first naturalization act in 1790 restricted immigration to "free white person[s] ... of good character." (That's right, not all white people were free at the time.) The Immigration Act of 1924 slowed down immigration for 40 years which allowed for the present immigrants to be assimilated.

This day also marks the passing of the Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee in 2018. Youtube is showing "With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story" (yes, Youtube has free movies with ads) at
