12 feet tall and constructed out of papier-mâché, this Lady Liberty holds a basket of tomatoes to represent the labor of agricultural workers. ?
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 in 2000. As part of the "March for Dignity, Dialogue, and a Fair Wage," she 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 struggles of diverse migrant farmworkers with the promise of America as represented by the original Statue of Liberty. ?
The papier-mâché statue’s original pedestal featured a simple message borrowed from African American poet Langston Hughes: “I, too, am America.” Swipe right to see the statue on the move in 2000, as well as on display in our exhibition "Many Voices, One Nation." ?? [?: Courtesy of Kat Rodriguez]
