The Inspiration
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on liberty Island in New York harbour. It was modelled after Libertas the Roman Goddess of freedom (who yields The Liberty Torch to symbolise enlightenment) and the Roman Sun God Sol Invictus (Unconquered, Invincible Sun).
The statue of liberty’s official name is:
“Liberty Enlightening the World.”
The Statue of Liberty is known as a symbol of freedom. The broken shackles and chains beneath her right foot represent marching forward away from oppression and slavery.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the American people. It was made to celebrate American freedom and the alliance between America and France during the American Revolution.
The Liberty Torch is a beacon of hope. When people arrived at Ellis Island in New York Harbour many years ago, the first thing they saw was Lady Liberty holding aloft her Liberty Torch.
It gave hope to millions of people.
Hope for a better life and hope for a better world.
“The British and American people have come a long way since the American Revolutionary War. Now the British and American people have never been closer. Whether it’s through entertainment, sports, or business, our bond is stroger than ever.
So, if two once feuding nations can come together to find peace, respect, and love for one another, there’s no reason why people from every country in the world can’t do the same.”
