On Oct. 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, in New York Harbor. 125th anniversary is being celebrated today. Festivities will culminate with a grand fireworks display tonight. I just don’t know if there are any events being broadcasted live but I’m sure the networks’ late night news will probably feature that tonight.
Due to the lack of advanced photographic technology over a century ago, it may be difficult to find a decent photo of the original dark face of Ms. Liberty. The next best thing are pictures of the replica of the face which is shown in unoxidized metal.
