In What Does the Statue of Liberty Stand For?, historian Lucy Worsley investigates the origins and meanings of the Statue of Liberty. When it was unveiled in 1886, women protested that women did not have liberty; neither was there liberty and equality for African Americans. Emma Lazarus wrote a poem, The New Colossus, which not only raised money for the statue but gave her a new purpose: to welcome immigrants from the rest of the world. This video is excerpted from BBC's American History's Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley, in which Worsley reveals the myths and manipulations behind American history.
We've all had daydreams of the biggest, bestest party ever! What does your dream party look like, kiddo? Design the invitation by writing your name, filling in how old you will be, draw yourself playing a game, and more. Then plan the menu (sausage and ice cream?), circle the best place for your party (park or play place?), and check off some of the awesome stuff you'll get up to (play charades or musical statues?).
