Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite or siderite.
A national monument of New Jersey and New York, the Statue of Liberty is arguably America's greatest symbol of freedom and opportunity. Located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, the statue commemorates the friendship between the United States and France that began during the American Revolution. Her official name is Liberty Enlightening the World.. The statue - also known as Lady Liberty - has many symbolic features.
The sculptor who masterminded the Statue of Liberty, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, envisioned it as a symbol of liberty, hence the official name of âLiberty Enlightening the Worldâ. But his symbol was of liberty spreading outwards to the world from America, rather than liberty for those incoming. Ellis Island only became the first stop for immigrants in 1892, i.e. six years after the statue was erected, remaining open for business until 1954.
