Monument to the Immigrant on the river walk in New Orleans, Louisiana, August 2019. Loads of text around the base of this statue explains who these immigrants are and who had the statue erected. Groups dedicated to Italian, Jewish, German, and Irish heritage were involved. Contrary to the anti-immigrant desires of those politicians currently in charge of our country, most people believe in the ideals of a melting pot made up of people from all over the globe, which is the point of this statue.
