Answer :

Emma Lazarus’ wrote the sonnet inscribed on the bronze plaque that was mounted inside the statue of liberty's lower pedestal.

Emma Lazarus’s poem The New Colossus became so tied to the Statue of Liberty that it is hard to imagine one without the other.

Yet it was not always this way; The New Colossus was added at a later date after the statue had already been on display for eight years.

Emma Lazarus's The New Colossus was inscribed on the bronze plaque that was mounted inside the statue of liberty’s lower pedestal in 1903.

The poem describes the huddled masses yearning to breathe free that Lady Liberty represents, and says, Give me you're tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

The poem expresses America's openness to immigrants and their ideals of democracy and equality, even if they were initially not welcomed by Americans.

  • The Purpose of Emma Lazarus's The New Colossus: In 1883, poet Emma Lazarus wrote a sonnet entitled The New Colossus to raise funds for the pedestal upon which it would be mounted.

The poem was not only the first work in English with a female author on a large public monument in the US but also the country's first public monument to honor both genders.

In her poem, she speaks out against all forms of intolerance and tyranny and tells those who have fled their countries seeking refuge in America that they are safe.

 She ends by saying bring these homeless, tempest-tossed to me. Her words speak volumes about how we should treat our refugees and immigrants today.

  • The Statue of Liberty Inscription: The inscription on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty reads, Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and is a line from an 1883 poem by American author and poet Emma Lazarus.

This sonnet served as the inspiration for what became known as the Statue of Liberty's most famous and enduring symbol--the lamp held aloft that would guide so many immigrants arriving in America.

This poem was so inspiring because the sonnet takes the form of an address from Lazarus to the United States.

It calls on the country to live up to its promises and ideals, particularly about political freedom and opportunity, while also recognizing its limitations regarding economic inequality.
