The Voice Of The Statue Of Liberty
BY LINDA GLASER, CLAIRE NIVOLA "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"...Who wrote these words? And why? In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that was to give voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the Statue, thanks to Emma's poem, slowly came to shape our hearts, defining us for that time at least as a nation that welcomes and gives refuge to those who come to our shores.

The Story Of Wangari Maathai
BY CLAIRE NIVOLA Wangari Maathai, won the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize as founder of the Green Belt Movement. She grew up in the highlands of Kenya, where fig trees cloaked the hills, fish filled the streams, and the people tended their bountiful gardens. But over many years, as more and more land was cleared, Kenya was transformed. When she returned home from college in America, she found the village gardens dry, the people malnourished, and the trees gone. She decided to inspire and enable the women of Kenya to replant the trees and restore the gardens and land - The Green Belt Movement, a movement that has now spread across the world.
