Standing strongly and proudly in the New York Harbor, this American woman
has been the icon for liberty and freedom since 1886 -- The Statue of Liberty.
Designed by Frederic Bartholdi, modeled after the Roman Goddess of Liberty,
and completed in pieces, she was sent as a gift from the people of France.
Just like many of our MAKERS, she has gone through a lot and is still standing.
She has weathered storms, lightning, a suicide, corrosion, yet still has
greeted many immigrants arriving to this country through
Ellis Island with grace and strength.
October 26,1886
Thank you France!
