Um farol brilhante de liberdade, Lady Liberty domina a homônima Liberty Island em Nova York, sua forma forjada de cobre elevando-se sobre o porto da cidade em toda a sua glória. O ativista francês Édouard René de Laboulaye expressou solidariedade aos Estados Unidos em nome de sua nação, se e quando os EUA decidissem construir um monumento emblemático de sua independência. A Estátua da Liberdade, portanto, foi o culminar criativo do escultor francês Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi e Gustave Eiffel e veio a ser uma oferta honrosa da nação da França para os Estados Unidos. Projetado para representar Libertas, uma deusa romana, Lady Liberty olha orgulhosamente ao longe, seu braço direito com a tocha estendida em direção ao céu, enquanto sua mão esquerda segura uma tabuleta com a data da Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos. Ao longo dos anos, a estátua não apenas incutiu um sentimento de orgulho entre os americanos, mas também tem sido uma visão edificante para dezenas de milhares de imigrantes que mapearam mares estrangeiros em uma tentativa de recomeçar a vida.
