During the Cold War, the United States began to re-conceptualize itself as a "nation of immigrants." This new anthem allowed for the formation of a memory infrastructure across the country where new museums could interpret American history as immigration history, while established institutions created exhibitions that embraced immigration history as a form of multiculturalism. Through the analysis of government proceedings, archival documents, and oral histories, my research investigates how public history institutions like the Smithsonian, Ellis Island and the American Museum of Immigration reproduced immigration history as a way of creating national unity. I argue that even as these museums attempted to reshape American history, they relied on traditional narratives of assimilation that favored the histories of European immigrants and their children. However, a struggle erupted over who had the authority to narrate these histories. This debate opened the door for the creation of other public spaces whose missions centered on the empowerment of disenfranchised peoples. These new spaces countered the ideas of the United States as a melting pot and presented conflicting histories about the American immigration process. This research elucidates the ways in which public history institutions worked towards creating a sense of belonging for millions of Americans while serving two opposing narratives-America as a beacon of hope and American as a gatekeeping nation.
