Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant
Kids by Russell Freedman.
Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother.
Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers - a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty
How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman's statement that the immigrants never forgot seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time? It adds credibility because it comes from a worker on the ship who sailed past the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from an immigrant who actually shares his memories of seeing the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from a historian who studied immigrants and the Statue of Liberty. It adds credibility because it comes from a journalist who researched the Statue of Liberty.
Answer:
It adds credibility because it comes from an immigrant who actually shares his memories of seeing the Statue of Liberty
Explanation:
Freedman made a statement that immigrants never forgot seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time because the narration comes from an immigrant who shares his experience of seeing the statue as he wrote "Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty"

No wonder everyone became a luck freak, no wonder you could wake at four in the morning some mornings and know that tomorrow it would finally happen, you could stop worrying about it now and just lie there, sweating in the dampest chill you ever felt.
