Statue of Liberty

            The Statue of Liberty, an iconic symbol of freedom and democracy, stands proudly in New York. Designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, it was a gift from France to the United States and was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue is a colossal figure of a woman holding a torch aloft in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776, the date of American independence, in her left. Her flowing robe and crown of seven rays represent enlightenment and liberty. The statue's pedestal is engraved with the famous sonnet "The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus, which celebrates America as a welcoming haven for immigrants. The Statue of Liberty remains a powerful symbol of hope, freedom, and the enduring values that the United States represents.
