After many years of fundraising, <em>Liberty Enlightening the World<\/em> was completed in France, shipped to America and erected in New York Harbor. She was dedicated on October 28, 1886, at an event led by President Grover Cleveland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month marks the 135th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty\u2019s dedication. While the national treasure may have aged, the concept of freedom never grows old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we celebrate the Lady with a Torch with 12 pieces that remind us to keep striving for liberty and justice for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"lady-liberty-2013-by-deirdre-allinson\"><em>Lady Liberty<\/em>,
