History
1
Opened in 1910, the Angel Island immigration station hospital had separate doors and stairways during the first few years of its operation. Identified as “European” and “Non-European,” the two entrances were meant to divide immigrants based on race. Inside, different wards were used to keep whites and Asians apart. This façade has been restored to its original design as a reminder of the racial prejudice of the time.
