*NOTE: You can vote every day for the Angel Island Station until October 31st.*

*Background:*As many of you know, the Angel Island Immigration Station was the gateway and detention center for many Asian Americans in the early part of this century. Known as the Ellis Island of the West, this historical site is noted for the Chinese poems carved into the barracks walls by the detainees.

However, the site is in desperate need of renovation to preserve the entire station. American Express is conducting a contest to determine which historical site will receive funding in its restoration efforts. Your vote for the Angel Island Immigration Station will help to secure funds for this restoration effort.
