"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...". This famous phrase is part of the poem written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 in a project to support the construction of the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. This book by Minnesotan Linda Glaser, tells the story of Emma and her poem, appropriately in poetic form. Watercolor paintings by Claire Nivola add historic atmosphere to the book. An image of the original poem is included on the endpapers. Use this as a resource in social studies immigration units.
