Deportation Its Meaning and Menace: Last Message to the People of America

Deportation Its Meaning and Menace: Last Message to the People of America by Emma Goldman is a pamphlet detailing the goodbye message of Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman at Ellis Island. Excerpt: "WITH pencil and scraps of paper concealed behind the persons of friends who had come to say good-bye at the Ellis Island Deportation Station, Alexander Berkman hastily scribbled the last lines of this pamphlet. I THINK it is the best introduction to this pamphlet to say that before its writing was finished the rulers of America began deporting men directly and obviously for the offense of striking against the industrial owners of America."
