This portion of a quote from the "The New Colossus" is featured on the base of a replica Statue of Liberty statue. The statue, next to the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center and the Great Lakes Aquarium is surrounded by pines, grass and is a nice setting. Also located right on the shores of Lake Superior and close to the Canal Park area of Duluth. The statue was given to the city of Duluth by descendants of the sculptor of the original Statue of Liberty in New York.
The etching reads:
From "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus
"Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free
The wretched refuse
of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless
Tempost tost to me
I lift my lamp beside
the Golden Door"
From the poem installed on the pedastal
of the Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbor 1905
This is a great spot to watch the lake, ships from around the world and enjoy the beauty of the statue.
