The Melting Pot Lesson at Matthias W. Baldwin School

The Melting Pot Lesson at Matthias W. Baldwin School

The children in this photo appear to be studying a lesson on immigration. In this photo, a boy stands in front of a chalkboard with “America—The Melting Pot” written on it. To the left is a chalk illustration of a group of immigrants, and written above it is text that appears to read “[Shall] we, whose ancestors once upon a [time] were immigrants too, help them to [make] their dreams come true?”
