Answer:

"The New Colossus" was based on an old statue of the Greek sun god Helios called "The Colossus of Rhodes."

Lazarus who wrote the poem helped refugees and Russian Jews seeking to flee to the U.S. According to Kraut, immigration and the liberation of the underprivileged were on her mind. Lazarus died in 1887, one year after Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty in 1886.

The bronze plaque featuring the iconic poem was affixed to the statue's pedestal in 1903, over 20 years after Lazarus' death, when her friend Georgina Schuyler found "The New Colossus" in 1901 and initiated an effort to memorialize Lazarus' work.

The poetry, like the chains, is not immediately obvious, Garcia added. Generations of artists, editorialists, and politicians have reminded us of these powerful words.
