"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........ "keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp, cries she with silent lips....give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free......"

This exerpt from the sonnet titled "The New Colussus" was written 130 years ago by Emma Lazurus
