Since the Statue of Liberty's official debut in 1886, the figure of Lady Liberty has become a familiar symbol in the United States, with meanings as diverse as the nation she represents. At different times, Lady Liberty has been a monument to the abolition of slavery, a token of the lasting friendship between the people of France and the United States, a figure of welcome for those looking for a new life in America, a beacon of democracy, and a site of protest and dissent.

Created by artist and community organizer Kat Rodriguez, this interpretation of the Statue of Liberty was a focal point for a protest march organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) in 2000. The statue was carried by marchers over 230 miles between Fort Myers and Orlando, Florida, as a call for improved conditions and higher wages for agricultural workers.
Rodriguez's depiction of Lady Liberty, complete with tomatoes in place of her typical torch and tablet, serves to connect the experiences of diverse migrant farmworkers with the promise of America as represented by the original Statue of Liberty.

The statue's original pedestal (not shown) features a simple message borrowed from African American poet Langston Hughes: "I, too, am America." The Immokalee Statue of Liberty is now on display in the museum's new exhibition, "Many Voices, One Nation." ???? #ManyVoicesOneNation #TheNationWeBuildTogether #StatueOfLiberty #LadyLiberty #Columbia #UncleSam #USA #July4 #IndependenceDay #RedWhiteAndBlue
