- 1. The Surprising Story of the Statue of Liberty: A symbol of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty stands tall on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Gifted to the United States by France in 1886, it was designed by sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The statue represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, and is a beacon of hope for immigrants arriving in America seeking a better life. Its construction was a collaborative effort between France and the US, with fundraising efforts on both sides of the Atlantic. The statue's iconic green color comes from the natural weathering of its copper exterior over time. Despite its monumental size and weight, the Statue of Liberty continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors around the world.
