First Sight

My grandmother (foreground), along with a diverse band of other visitors, catches her first good sight of the Statue of Liberty. She told me later that she was thinking of her mother, and of all she went through to come to this land and win a better future for my grandma and the generations yet to come.

 

My grandma hated the way she looked in this picture. I don't. I suspect you won't, either.
