#517 Show Summary (Yearning to Breathe Free Show):
“The New Colossus” was a poem written by Emma Lazarus to describe the Statue of Liberty, signifying a country dedicated to freedom for oppressed people, not colossal military might. One line from that poem, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free” gives us the title of this show. Next year, our state legislature will deliberate a bill regarding the rights of our citizens—a smoking ban. You can help, and we will show you how.
Tip: Vote. It gives you the moral and civic authority to contact your legislator about issues that are important to you.
