The Immigrants, a sculpture by artist Luis Sanguino, celebrates the “diversity of New York City and the immigrant experience.” Located downtown in Battery Park next to Castle Clinton, which served as a depot to welcome the growing number of immigrants to the US before processing was transferred to Ellis Island, the sculpture depicts an Eastern European Jew, a freed formerly enslaved African man, a priest, and a worker. Sanguino’s sculpture depicts the struggles that various peoples have faced as they came to America either through voluntary or forced migration.
