Prospect Park Celebrates Diversity, Unveiling Art Mural - 'One Humanity'
"One Humanity," as the mural is entitled, quotes the 1883 poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus, written during a time of transformative immigration into the US. Superimposed over an image of the Statue of Liberty, the left panel reads, "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."
