Our Symbol of Freedom #statueofliberty #statueoflibertyday #immigrationday #america
The Statue of Liberty has served as a symbol for freedom for over 137 years now — sometimes it represents the liberties we have, other times it represents the liberties we're striving toward. The statue was a gift from the French, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, shipped in pieces to the US in June, 1885, and dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The New Colossus
by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
