English: History
This text is part of Parks’ Historical Signs Project and can be found posted within the park. Sculptor Luis Sanguino (b. 1934) celebrates the diversity of New York City and the struggle of immigrants in this heroic-sized bronze figural group. The sculpture depicts figures of various ethnic groups and eras, including an Eastern European Jew, a freed African slave, a priest, and a worker. The figures’ expressive poses emphasize the struggle and toil inherent in the experience of the immigrant or dislocated person. The sculpture is located at the south end of the Eisenhower Mall in Battery Park near Castle Clinton, which served as a processing facility for newly arrived immigrants from 1855 to 1890, when construction began on a larger, more remote facility at nearby Ellis Island. The piece was donated by Samuel Rudin (1896–1975), who commissioned the sculpture in the early 1970s, intending it to be installed near Castle Clinton as a memorial to his parents, who, as it is noted on the plinth, emigrated to the United States in the late-19th century. Although Rudin died in 1975, Rudin’s family took up the campaign to install the sculpture at the park, and it eventually was dedicated on May 4, 1983.

The inscription on this monument, " "DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS / WHO ENTERED AMERICA THROUGH CASTLE GARDEN " which has views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from across the river, is especially pertinent and important today in wake of the national refugee crises. I have lived in New York my entire life (48 years) and never knew this monument existed until my husband and I stumbled (literally) upon it early one morning when we were bike riding along the bike path down the west side of from our home to the tip of lower Manhattan, just south of the former World Trade Centers, when we saw this monument.
