"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." - From the poem "The New Colossus" written by poet Emma Lazarus in 1883. The poem serves as a warm welcome to immigrants and refugees, representing a promise of hope, opportunity, and new life. So, is it possible? For weakness to defeat an overwhelming force? For a flash of light to dispel an ancient, profound darkness? For an ember from the Statue of Liberty's torch to illuminate the path for a lost nation? Between oppression and resolve... between defeat and victory... between racism and freedom... Between the past and the present... between slogans and reality... between emotion and stagnation... between gentleness and harshness... We sail through the chapters of this elegant novel... to see who will prevail.
