Description
Outside the National Museum of American Jewish History in the city center of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a marble sculpture presented in 1876 as a gift to the city during the centennial celebration of the United States. The woman is a symbol of liberty. Wearing a crown of thirteen gold stars and carrying the constitution, she shields a boy with a lamp that represents religious faith. (He is behind her in this photo.) The large eagle crushing a snake at her feet symbolizes democracy and its struggle against intolerance. The statue, entitled Religious Liberty, was sculpted by Moses Jacob Ezekiel, who was a confederate soldier in the Civil War. The museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. and is the contemporary glass building on the right. Copyright 2011 Ann Horn. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
