Emma's Poem | Linda Glaser
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...Who wrote these words? And why? In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that was to give voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the Statue, thanks to Emma's poem, slowly came to shape our hearts, defining us as a nation that welcomes and gives refuge to those who come to our shores. This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)

#LetsTravelJuly Day 31: Not just #fireworks on the 4th of July but its true meaning of being a home for the wretched and displaced. The photo on top right was taken by me which I edited to include excerpts from Emma‘s poem, “The New Colossus” a symbol of all that the Mother of Exiles stood for. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7WP

#ReadingResolutions Day 2: For #Fireworks, I have the Voice of the Statue of Liberty in Emma‘s Poem. Emma was born in 1849 to a very wealthy family in New York City. Her entire world revolved around a network of people with the same kind of privilege and status: “people who had plenty of everything.” This lovely book speaks of the creation of the poem “The New Colossus” and the woman who spoke for “The Mother of Exiles” Link to review ⬇️
