a production by Chris Flannery of the Claremont Institute EPISODE 112 - AUGUST 31, 2021 MOTHER OF EXILES “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses . . .” These are among the most world-famous lines of any work of American literature, and whoever hears or reads them identifies them immediately with the most famous statue in America.
