Millions of immigrants arrived in the United States during the Great Migration of 1860-1924. Increasingly Old Stock Americans grew fearful of these new people with their strange ways and strange religions. The Immigrants' Tale is a cultural history of the coming of Eastern Orthodox Arab Christians to the United States. The Tale is told by the members of St. Elijah Orthodox Christian Church in Oklahoma City, OK. Change the names, change the city, change the religion and it's the universal story experienced by all immigrants The Immigrants' Tale is larger than any one community, any one city, any one ethnicity and any one religion. It is the Tale of all immigrants. Everyone living in the United States is an immigrant or a descendent of immigrants. The Immigrants' Tale is therefore our story; even if our ancestors have lived here so long we no longer remember or care where they came from.
