10 That Changed America

Monuments | Statue of Liberty, New York, NY

Learn how the statue we think of as a beacon to immigrants was conceived by Frenchman Edouard Laboulaye as both a celebration of America's democracy and a rebuke to his own nation's autocratic rule.

10 that Changed America is made possible, in part, by The Joseph & Bessie Feinberg Foundation. Major funding is also provided by Joan and Robert Clifford, The Walter E. Heller Foundation, and other generous supporters.
