Indivisible: Sharon Sekhon's CSUF's Honors Class

I am happy to present square number 130, a work created by Cindy P., a student in Professor Sharon Sekhon's Honors Class at California State University Fullerton:

Marker, pen, pastel on paper, 2018.

In the image, people are gathered on the tops of buildings around New York, gazing out at the Statue of Liberty as the sun rises or set beyond her. The sonnet by Emma Lazarus titled "The New Colossus" written in 1883 and engraved in 1903 on a bronze plaque mounted inside the pedestal of the statue says:


Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With 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-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” 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!”

Powerful words.  Please keep sending your squares to the Indivisible Project.
