Statue of Liberty - The Story Behind the Scenery by Paul Weinbaum

Paul Weinbaum, career professional with the National Park Service, is active in preserving and interpreting our culture and historic resources. He received his doctorate in history from the University of Rochester. As the former curator of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, Paul is extremely knowledgeable about the statue and has a sensitive appreciation for the special significance that this great symbol has for people the world over.

 

"The Statue of Liberty, that uniquely American symbol that stands in lonely grandeur within New York harbor. Since her dedication in 1886 she has seen the New York skyline which once she dwarfed, take on a totally new character, its silhouetted canyons of seel and sone visible for miles. She has seen world wars fought and won, new philosophiesof brotherhood emerge, and a self-isolating, individualistic nation change into a democratic world power abounding border to border in productivity, technology, prosperity, and wealth, the likes of which the world has never seen before."
