About the resource
"The liberty {Emma Lazarus'] sonnet celebrated had nothing to do with the abstract political ideas of the French. It was liberty as a beacon of hope, shining out to oppressed peoples around the world. It was the future, reaching out to the present, to unchain humanity from the shackles of the past."
