Lady Liberty

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless,
tempest- tost to me.
~ Emma Lazarus 1883
Yes, today in 1885 the Statue of Liberty was presented as a friendship gift from the people of France. Also today in history one of our other great ladies of the United States was tried for illegally voting- Susan B. Anthony. The symbol of democracy and freedom. What is the word I am looking for here???
