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.

Because it's a quotation from someone who experienced what Russel Freedman exposes in his book. Then, Edward Corsi can, not only give a personal view about the facts, but also offers another information and experience to the book.

Explanation:

Russel Freedman's book is a set of texts and photographs that can tell us a story. His book gives us a glimpse of the early days of immigration in the 1900s, but through the lens of a photographer. In many ways, Edward Corsi's quotation for this book offers a personal view of the situation of immigrant children. If Corsi was one of them, he can say more about the situation than a photograph. He can go deeper and exposes more than a photo can do.
