An American poet wrote that phrase to refer to people, and the poem
where she used it is written on the base of the Statue of Liberty. It's
the words of Miss Liberty, calling out to the rest of the world and saying
to the other countries "Over here in America, everybody is equal. If you
think that some of your people are not as good as others, send them here,
where they can be free."
The poem was placed on the Statue of Liberty, and the statue itself was
placed where it is, because thousands of those people came to America
from other countries on ships, headed for New York, and the Statue of
Liberty was one of the first things they saw when they were getting close.
Some of those people were my grandparents.
