Emma Goldman described this place as the “worst dump I ever stayed in” after being imprisoned here in 1919. Special goggles were developed to screen for trachoma at this location. Doctors would surreptitiously draw a chalk “X” on people here suspected of being (*) “feeble-minded.” Vincent J. Cannato’s book on this place busts the myth that officials here changed people’s surnames. 12 million people passed through this place between 1892 and 1954, more so than through Angel Island in San Francisco. For 10 points, name this place where immigrants were processed in New York. ■END■
