The Wall of Honor

One of the most inspiring Foundation projects is The American Immigrant Wall of Honor®. Located on the restored Ellis Island, the Wall proudly bears the names of more than half a million immigrants whose descendants memorialized them by having their names inscribed there. Registrations are now being accepted for a new phase of the Wall. More about the Wall of Honor.
