EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking print captures the essence of a protest that took place in 1978. The poster, created by Ruth Stenstrom, boldly declares "Give me your tired, your poor, your puertoricans, your women" highlighting the diverse groups of people who have historically faced discrimination and exploitation. The image features an American flag as its backdrop, symbolizing the country's ideals of freedom and opportunity. However, instead of celebrating these values, Stenstrom uses satire to shed light on the harsh reality faced by marginalized communities. By listing various ethnicities and nationalities such as Native Americans, African princes, Italians, Jews, Poles, Micronesians, Filipinos, Irish individuals and Chicanos - she exposes how they have been exploited throughout history. Stenstrom's message is clear: despite America being known as a land of opportunity for immigrants seeking a better life; it has often failed to live up to this promise. The poster serves as a reminder that many vulnerable groups have been taken advantage of rather than uplifted. Through her artistry and use of text within the image itself; Stenstrom challenges viewers to confront their own biases and question societal norms surrounding immigration. This photograph serves as both a historical artifact from late 20th-century America and a timeless call for justice in our modern world.
