DESCRIPTION:The author of "The New Colossus," the poem affixed to the Statue of Liberty 
 that includes those well known words "Bring me your tired, your poor, your 
 huddled masses yearning to breathe free," would have had a spirited 
 conversation with most US Presidents.\n\nEmma Lazarus' life's work was 
 dedicated to inspiring public policy that provided relief to those cruelly 
 harmed by both foreign and domestic nativist public policy.\n\nGiven that 
 10 of the first 12 Presidents were themselves slaveowners, and that one 
 could find more than a speck of race, class, and foreigner discrimination 
 in the careers of every president, it's a matter of interest on Presidents 
 Day to consider which presidents would, were they living today, come 
 nearest to exemplary rapport with the aura of the Statue of Liberty.\n\nBut 
 whoa! Wait! Just what is the aura of the Statue of Liberty? You're warmly 
 invited to join a discussion of just that question. The Commons SF is 
 hosting an online screening of twenty-five minutes of scholarly review of 
 the statue and of the poem, "The New Colossus," to be followed by 30 
 minutes of moderated but no-panel discussion by all those in attendance.\n
