Every October 28th, we celebrate National Immigrants Day 🗽
The date isn’t random: it marks the anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, the same statue that for generations greeted millions of people arriving by sea with nothing but hope and the dream of a better life. At its base, a poem by Emma Lazarus still reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
This day is a reminder of every race, every color, every language and every story that has arrived in this country looking to grow, to find opportunity, and to build a future. Immigrants have shaped the United States in every way: they built its cities, harvested its fields, opened its businesses, enriched its culture and our economy.
Today we honor the courage it takes to leave everything behind and start again. We honor the families who made this land their home, and who, with their work and their dreams, made it a more welcoming home for everyone. 🌎❤️
