The Spirit of Liberty, her light shining out to the continents from her gilded crown; holding the lighted torch to lead them to enlightenment and liberty. Not what some social justice warrior from another century tacked to her robes.
It was a gift from the French people to the American people, not a gift to one nation to another.
That what makes it even more special.
It was partially displayed in Paris to raise money during the construction since the French government didn't pay for it.
We did not go up inside. If I remember correctly the crown was closed that day. There may have been an option to go up to a different spot but we had a 6 year old and 3 year old in tow and didn't want to spend the extra cash or energy to haul them up. Particularly since we had already done the Empire State Building the day before.

By the way Sylvain; thank you from an American to a Frenchman. The statue of Liberty is one of the nicest gifts the American people have received. Especially nice, since it came from the French.

That, and our independence, thanks to Lafayette and Comte de Grasse, in part.
There are some folks who don't really get why Roof Koreans are such a big deal to so many people. Well take a knee, and I'ma break it down for you.
These people walked away from their country, their culture, their extended family, and their homes in search of something better. They crossed an ocean, language barrier, and jumped socioeconomic hurdles simple to get here. They did it, legally. They landed in a place where the first question to all Asians is "are ya Chinese or Japanese?"
They learned our language, our laws, our social code. They found community, started businesses from nothing, and tried to give their children a better life. All in a country that was, at its best, completely indifferent to them. Though, mostly, it was pretty racist.
On April 29, 1992 civil unrest (as a result of a police department and justice system they had no hand in creating or corrupting) threatened their homes, their businesses, and their livelihood. Everything they'd fought for was about to be taken from them as the city of LA came down on top of them. They responded in the most 'Merica way possible; they took up a defensive position and said "Stand your ground. Do not fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."
That day, these men became more American than most people who were born here could ever be. They were willing to die fighting, rather than giving up their American Dream. They deserve to be honored and remembered for that.

54th Massachusetts. His actions inspired the portion of the movie "Glory" when the character played by Denzel Washington carried the flag up the side of Fort Wagner.
Maybe we should replace some statutes with one of him.
