America's Most Storied Woman

[Editor's Note: This is an encore presentation of "Cityscape" from October 19, 2019.]
 
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most instantly recognizable symbols of America. 
 
But, how did Lady Liberty find her home in the waters of New York Bay? 
 
It’s a story of hopes and dreams and failures and successes, and one that features a number of significant people in history. 
 
A new book takes a deep dive into the history of the Statue of Liberty. It’s called "Lady Liberty: An Illustrated History of America’s Most Storied Woman." The book includes essays by Joan Marans Dim and paintings by Antonio Masi. Joan and Antonio are our guests on this week's "Cityscape."
