Photo taken by Margaret Bourke-White in 1951 "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless , tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Just wanted to remind everyone that Statue of Liberty -- which represents liberty and escape from oppression -- welcomes the homeless, too.
