The_Forward

The Forward Forward: From Immigrants to Americans “Bring us your hungry, your tired, your poor.” That was a call that many immigrants heard in the late 1800's and in the early 1900's. So they came, they came to America to find a better home, a new life and to start over. They heard that in America the streets were paved with Gold, and that it was a land of opportunity where you could become whatever you wanted to become. No one in America was poor, it was the greatest land in the whole world. Though the reality in America for immigrants was much different. Not everyone was rich, in fact, most were poor, and this was a new Land they needed somewhere to look for guidance. The Forward, which was founded in April 22, 1897 by Abraham Cahan, fought for social justice, helped generations of immigrant Jews enter American life, and was a way for Yiddish American voices to be heard. Social Injustice abounded everywhere in the Early 1900's and the Forward was there to help the American Worker.
