A cartoon published in 1919 in the Memphis Commercial Appeal which depicts a monstrous "European Anarchist" seeking to blow up the Statue of Liberty. The caption ironically reads "COME UNTO ME YE OPPREST", a welcoming slogan to immigrants from less free nations. Anti-anarchist sentiment was high during the turn of the century, and was legislated into US law as the Anarchist Exclusion Act in 1901 and again in 1918. Each barred European anarchists from entering the country.
