Dear all,As Carlos suggested, this is an interesting photograph exhibition that you can visit online, or in Sala Recoletos, Fundación Maphre.
It's about the photographs taken by Lewis Hine of the people who entered the USA through the Ellis Island.
Dear all,

I could see this exhibition las Easter and I'd like to recommend it aswell.
When I started to see the photos I thought: What a luck! I read about this topic on the American Cities book!
Misery in his photos was what impacted me most.
It's a very interesting exhibition. Following the tour, you can get a very clear idea that governs all Americans: "if one wants something, should work hard". It also demonstrates that not everything is an American dream, there are lot of poverty and many people struggling simply to survive.
Hi :)
As I said yesterday, I leave here two vids. The first one is a song called Flame to the Moth by swedish band Pain of Salvation (with awesome lyrics, that make you think about the current situation that we are living in. If you are dissapointed with politicians and all that issues

Thanks a lot for those videos, Alberto.
The first one is very interesting and the second is good fun :-)

I eventually went to see the exhibition. Now I think it's about much more than immigrants running away from European war, poverty and hunger. This exhibition is about a man who devoted his life to educate and denounce the inequalities of his time: poor living conditions, child labour conditions, poor children, the power of humans making machines move, the building of a great city thanks to people who worked in them.
What strikes me more is that he died in poverty himself, in a house that had been taken by the bank.
