The Tenement Year

"The Tenement Year" is a historical educational program that explores the experiences of young immigrants living in crowded, often dilapidated urban tenements during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It highlights their daily struggles with poor living conditions, labor challenges, and cultural adaptation while emphasizing themes of resilience, community, and the pursuit of the American Dream. The program aims to offer insight into this important period in American history, encouraging reflection on social justice and the ongoing impacts of immigration and urbanization.
