How Emma Lazarus Gave the Statue of Liberty Its Voice
Please take a few minutes to fill out this short survey at unpacked.bio/podsurvey She wasn't an immigrant, but Emma Lazarus gave the Statue of Liberty its voice. In Part 2, Schwab and Yael explore how a wealthy poet became a champion for refugees, an early advocate for Jewish nationalism, and the author of the poem that redefined America's most iconic symbol: The New Colossus. The New Colossus By Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries sheWith silent lips. “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,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” Poems by Emma Lazarus If you like this show, please rate and write a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Emma Lazarus Was Born Rich. Why Did She Speak for the Poor?
Please take a few minutes to fill out this short survey at unpacked.bio/podsurvey. Emma Lazarus wrote The New Colossus, the poem on the base of the Statue of Liberty. But she was nothing like the huddled masses she described. In part 1 of a two part series, Schwab walks Yael through her short, incredible life: born in 1849 to a wealthy Sephardic family that had been in New York since before the Revolution, a literary prodigy published at seventeen, hobnobbing with Ralph Waldo Emerson and demanding her place in the American canon. Then a wave of antisemitism begins to awaken something new in her. Poems by Emma Lazarus If you like this show, please rate and write a review wherever you get your podcasts. And be in touch.
