Still standing at 70: Here's the story behind Tulsa's Statue of Liberty
tulsaworld.com
The Boy Scouts of America launched a "Strengthen the Arm of Liberty Campaign" that resulted in Tulsa gaining a Statue of Liberty replica in 1950. About half of the 200Yes, she is supreme!
On a national TV show in the USA this actor was about to double his winning from $125,000 to $250,000 with this easy question. He didn’t know the answer and had used all of his life-lines, so he walked with $125,000 for his charity of choice. Before he left, he was asked to reveal what his guess should have been. He chose D which is not correct. BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB final answer!
I think the Club will send him our latest newsletter.
As Comfort arrives, she has hope. Miss Liberty has seen a lot over the years.

Longtime New York newspaper reporter and writer, Pete Hamill, died yesterday at the age of 85. “If the pavement of this city could speak, it would sound like Pete Hamill,” New York Times journalist Dan Barry once said. “The Power and The People” episode of the 1999 documentary, "New York: A Documentary Film" by Ric Burns and James Sanders, opens with a view of Ellis Island and Hamill soulfully sharing his thoughts of being the child of immigrants in New York City.

So glad the grounds are open again.

Why has nobody tried to clean the statue of liberty and Polish it back to its shiny copper status?

A funny yet heartwarming story... What did you say when you first saw Lady Liberty? 🗽During our time away, we received this letter.
"My Ukrainian grandmother came to this country circa 1915; she was about 9 years old. One beautiful day, I went up the top of the World Trade Center. Looking towards the ocean and the harbor entrance, it was apparent that the first thing a ship would encounter was the Statue of Liberty.
When I got home, I asked my grandmother what the people on her ship thought when they saw the statue. She explained that everyone was on deck as the ship entered the harbor. She said the children were all asking their parents, “What is the lady holding?” The adults replied, “A potato, because there’s so much food here!” A true story! You can imagine the poverty they left behind in “the old country”.

I would love to be able to climb the arm and stand out on the torch.
I love this statue my Grandma came to the USA from Florence Italy on the ship to Ellis Island I been to Statue of liberty and to Ellis Island I love looking at it I am from Staten Island NY I see it everyday on the ferry boat
What a sweet story. Thanks for sharing
My Pop took the torch down and put the new one up. Sadly he is not in your photo. He is far right in the suit.
#StatueSunday 🗽 As Bartholdi entered New York harbor by ship, he saw Bedloe's Island (now Liberty Island). Bartholdi saw New York as the gateway to America, and it was at Bedloe's Island that Bartholdi envisioned the Statue rising out of the star-shaped Fort Wood! This was chosen as Liberty's home.
