Emma's Poem: The Voice of the Statue of Liberty
- Used Book in Good Condition
"Give me your tired,Â your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . "
In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet thatÂ gaveÂ a voice to the Statue of Liberty.Â Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the statue, thanks to Emma's poem,Â came toÂ define us as a nation that welcomesÂ immigrants.Â TheÂ text of thatÂ now famous poem,Â "The New Colossus," appears in this free-verse biography, illustrated in an exquisiteÂ folk art style.Â
Â
TheÂ New Colossus by Emma Lazarus hasÂ been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)
