Welcome to Litsy!

I feel like this is a poem that should be taught in every American school. Of course, it won‘t be because 1) it‘s written by a woman and we‘d hate for girls to think they had brains, and 2) it would require doing something that would make them good people but isn‘t on a godforsaken test.

#LetsTravelJuly Day 31: Not just #fireworks on the 4th of July but its true meaning of being a home for the wretched and displaced. The photo on top right was taken by me which I edited to include excerpts from Emma‘s poem, “The New Colossus” a symbol of all that the Mother of Exiles stood for. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7WP
