Dr. Joy DeGruy explains how Lady Liberty's oft-ignored shackles symbolize her near-forgotten origins.
The original design had Lady Liberty holding broken chains in her left hand, not the tablet we see today .
The statue was to be a gift celebrating the end of slavery in the U.S. , as well as the centennial of the nation's founding.
The Statue of Liberty national monument and museum has updated its educational program to include the statue's anti-slavery origins.
Dr. DeGruy shared more about how Black Americans can find healing through hidden history.
"How much prouder would they be if they knew that their ancestors that didn't come through Ellis Island , that came chained together in the belly of ships, that she was standing on those shackles?".
