The original model of the Statue of Liberty had an African American face that was Given to USA by France to pay homage to the slaves whom were brought here by force.
The original copy was refused by America, But was Europeanized because the people of the United States did not want a Afrikan American face sitting up there on the harbor so they carved it out in France they had to go back to the drawing board and remodeled the face after patron saint of manifest destiny .
This statue was made in 1848, and was from Gold Coast . not everyone knows this because we weren’t taught this in school in fact the only statue most know is the newer version of the Statue of Liberty. When the French artist created the statue of Liberty it was suppose to represent the end of slavery .
On the original model there were chains on the hands and feet as we know. When the statue got to America they wanted to erase ANY references of slavery from the statue but the artists really fought to keep the chains on there .. so not only have they been trying to get rid of us slowly so that we can’t even have a statue for OURSELVES because they feel the need to take everything we have…. and all because they think they have the “power” to do so.
