The Statue of Liberty was created to celebrate the end of slavery. She has the chains to prove it!

Although this has been hidden for more than 125 years, believe me a lot of African Americans know this about the statue of liberty.

Did you know she did not have that pedestal when she was first offered by the French? The French asked them to build a pedestal but it hides her feet. What were they trying to hide? SLAVE CHAINS!

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was the sculptor who made the Statue of Liberty.

Bartholdi, left broken chains at the feet of Lady Liberty to remind us of the freedom from oppression and servitude. These chains are unseen by visitors as they sit atop the pedestal, however, they can be seen from an aerial view

The National Park Service has since changed the page on the Statue of Liberty, to tell the true story and show the chains on her feet.
