She is the Statue of Freedom. With some deference I mention her age. but chiefly I call attention to the variety of her composition. for freedom is composed of many elements. and significant aspects of freedom have come to us from foreign shores and through stormy difficulties. Indeed. such a lofty position for this lady immigrant is not inappropriate. especially in these times when we would seek to provide greater immigration opportunities for access to the United States. She may not be modishly gowned in modern fashion. a contemporary artist might produce a different conception. But she stands with historic poise and as a reminder of the continuing diversity of our life.
