Discover the journey from steerage to Ellis Island to the sweatshops of New York City, through the experiences of one young Irish immigrant forced to seek a new American life on her own. In the early 1900s, Bridget leaves the turmoil and poverty of Ireland for the promise of work and better opportunity in the United States, where she faces the challenges and discrimination of immigrant life on the road to citizenship. Tuesday, March 17: 9am and 1pm Wednesday, March 18: 9am, 11am, and 1:15pm. Registration required. Email info@roberthjackson.org or call (716) 483-6646.
