America's History of Immigration is a history podcast hosted by Griffin Wirth. It has 1 episodes, with the latest published March 2020.

My podcast follows the prompt of a moment in history that everyone should learn about. I chose to talk about ellis/angel island and the immigrants that crossed through there. I wanted to talk about what was really happening there. I want to bring up things like reasons why people were turned away. I want to talk about how they checked for things like trachoma with an eye hook. I want to talk about the last name log that they have of peoples last names and how some people now have last names like George because of people either misunderstanding the person speaking or seeing their real last name
