This transcript recounts the questioning of Emmeline Pankhurst by the Board of Special Inquiry at Ellis Island. The Board's questions sought to determine whether Pankhurst should be deported or admitted into the United States.
The report provides details about Pankhurst's actions and criminal history in England. The Board of Inquiry decided to deport her as her actions involved "moral turpitude." It comes from an
appeal of English suffragette Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst for admittance.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
