Check out this video from Tim McCoy. It shows the ceremony that just took place on October 10th, 2008 (last Friday) in Cork, Ireland to honor Annie Moore, the first immigrant through Ellis Island. A plaque was placed on the last house she lived in before coming to America. The Lord Mayor of Cork is there as is the General Consul from the American Embassy, and a charming bunch of school kids singing -- you guessed it -- Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears.
