yeah, but who is she really?  A symbol, depicted by europeans.

The history of the statue of liberty is pretty interesting, and indicates the fluidity of thought behind the new ideas that had swept the world, and are still powerful.  To some, Lady Liberty was conceived as a native american, yet the driving force behind the whole idea of the statue had to do with the emancipation of slaves in the civil war.

Truth will out, 'tis said:  It turns out most of us are a little bit of everything.  Just as God created us in his image (we created God in our image) so do we imagine liberty as beautiful in our eyes, whatever color those eyes happen to be.
