Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
These words from The New Colossus, written by Emma Lazarus, can be found on a plaque on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
Reflect
What do your student leaders think these words mean?
What are some ways that individuals can show leadership with the poor and homeless?
Can a nation be a leader?
Create
Have students make a sketch of the Statue of Liberty's lamp. In the flames, have them write their ideas of ways individual leaders can be welcoming to people who are from other countries.
