The Statue of Liberty is famously associated with the quote: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." This quote is from the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus, inscribed on a plaque at the base of the statue. The poem, written to help raise funds for the statue's pedestal, has become synonymous with the Statue of Liberty's role as a symbol of hope and opportunity for immigrants.
The full poem reads:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our city-sieve, let come what may,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
The poem's lines, particularly the phrase "Give me your tired, your poor", have resonated with generations of immigrants and continue to symbolize the Statue of Liberty's enduring message of welcome and hope.
