"It is not surprising Emma Lazarus was a socialist. I hear more shrieks of horror from conservatives...." 14
“It is not surprising Emma Lazarus was a socialist. I hear more shrieks of horror from conservatives. She did a lot of work in New York City with Jewish immigrants fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe and Russia. She did not see the nation as a republic in abstract, but saw it as its people. She did not celebrate the prosperity of the nation but celebrated how that prosperity could be shared with people, how it could ease the plight of the people.”
