I know I am powerful, strong and I can survive
In this new world, I will finally feel alive.
The Emma Lazarus Project explores the story of Emma Lazarus, a fifth-generation American Jew caught in an important turning point in American and Jewish History. The initiative—including an exhibit, curriculum and poetry contest—uses primary sources straight from the archive to encourage students to piece together Emma’s fascinating story, and to join the ongoing conversation about American identity.
I know I am powerful, strong and I can survive
In this new world, I will finally feel alive.
